LT's, ORY, Catback TBI next week, need pointers

[V]

LS1 emmisions air tubes are easy as hell. 2 10mm bolts directly on the manifold, and then the tubes easily swing/flex up and away. I did shortys from the bottom without problems, but i never did LS1 LTs, so IDK. but i dont think you can do them from the top.

The problem with emission's LT's is that the fittings stick out of the headers and gives you a lot less room to angle them up into place. The 96-97 cars have the longest AIR tube sticking up so they are probably the hardest. The LS1 cars look the easiest but I'm sure Bill will have something to say about that.

Bill has the write up on his old webpage for installing LTs: http://www.geocities.com/foff667/

Good beans... starting this install first thing in the morning. Should take all day, maybe even into Monday... doing this by myself with help of my Dad so it'll get done one way or the other. Thanks for the help everyone

nice post updates tommorow night. run to a auto parts store in the morning and throw some poly motor mounts in there while your at it

Yea im pretty much doing everything in 1 shot .... plugs and all, so its out of the way. Mounts might be a little tough to get cuz the three good autopart stores that are in my area are closed on Sundays. Im starting around 8AM and I'm estimating an ending time of 7:30PM.

mounts are a important mod. since NY is all open you want me to get you a set in the morning and meet me somewhere. you guys can start dissassembling meanwhile

i believe autozone does carry them. that may be cause the autozone by me is huge.

i hear ya bro, i hate working on my car in my driveway! luckly my best friends across the street have a decent size asphalt driveway so i always go over there

took me about 8 hours to do mine I think, ummm as far as the most difficult part? probably the last spark plugs on the passenger side.. MAN that was a bitch and a half. Pacesetters go up nice and easy, just take your time, and keep yourself in a good mood.. worst thing you can do is start getting all cranky and then start breaking things
