WTB: LS1 Dipstick and A/C bolts

[Jersey Mike]

Looking for the following parts for a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am.


1) The 2 bolts that thread into the holes in the picture I attached. They hold the AC dryer to the [HVAC box], as well as the line that runs from the [hvac box] to the passenger side upper corner of the radiator.


2) stock oil dipstick and tube.



I'm in Northeastern NJ, and often down in the Randolph area as well.

Thanks

Bump. I know a lot of you ditched the AC!

[MyFirstZ]

how'd you find the bolts? lol literally standing in front of the parts guy looking at the screen at GM.

You sure they are m8's I know they have a large head which makes me think they are slightly bigger.

At some point this week I'll try to get over to my garage and see if I have the bolts

I'll see if I can post the picture from the parts computer tomorrow.

I put the p/n in google and they say the bolts also fit the front cover/oil pan on LS engines. They look like regular 13mm bolts to me.

[Jersey Mike]

Whoa! Love these responses. Thanks guys!

[Stevoone]

Ignore the blue selected numbers. The bolts you were referring to are #'s 23 28 and 29?

You got it, Steve.

[MyFirstZ]

wonder if it is that different, i just checked from my vin. Might have been my problem

[Stevoone]

They are the same (the bolts anyway), I accidentally looked up a 2000 Camaro the first time. May have been looking at the HVAC distribution box instead of the refrigerant system picture?

Some parts like nuts and bolts are not VIN specific and wont show up with the VIN filter on, our program does that sometimes.

[MyFirstZ]

Yeah sounds like some of the **** they run into here at my dealer. Oh well

Steve,

Thank you for the part numbers. I ordered a couple of them from my local Cadillac dealer at $0.95 each, and they worked perfectly.

The black bolt was the one that I had on my radiator, and on my AC compressor. It worked for everything else, but wasn't long enough to thread onto the EVAP core/HVAC box in the original post. However, the silver bolt (part number 11515758) was the same physical length as the aforementioned; The key functional difference though was that the new bolt was fully threaded end-to-end.
Interestingly, both were metric, however had different head sizes and strength ratings. According to the diagram posted earlier, all these bolts should be the same--Interesting.

I thought I'd make this note & snag a couple of pictures in case anyone else needed to search for this information in the future.

Again, I just purchased these from Jegs for a total of $28.98 and free shipping. I got an offer of $20 shipped for a used set from a member on LS1Tech, however, for such a cheap part, it wasn't worth it to go used/private, in my opinion.

Should anyone else ever need, here are the links:

I've ordered all the above parts. Thank you guys for the clarity and for pointing me in the right direction!
