Heres one quick link..

Granted you won't be doing a cam swap, but scroll down, opti R/R is covered.
I'll check out that link. Thank you!

We tackle the simple things, but nothing too complex. We've done oil changes, strut/springs, brake lines, brake pads, custom fog lights, custom stereos, etc. We've even changed a distributor in a 1996 v6 Camaro. However the LT1 seems much more complex. I did order a Haynes manual though. Plus I found this link.

He lives off of Ridgedale Ave. Kinda by the CVS, PNC bank, and Dunkin Donuts. Thankfully the LS1 doesn't have an opti, so you lucked out . Let me know if you have some free time this weekend as we'll probably be over there toying with the car anyway. Feel free to leave a PM .
