which headers are you using? all other accessories worked when you added that bracket? that was one thing that was scaring me away from the ls swap

I'm using the F-body pacesetter headers... Drivers went on no prob, had to slightly tap 2 primaries on the passenger side nothing major...
I'm using the truck FEAD with the exception of the waterpump which comes of a 2010 6.2 camero.
