Scored some parts at the local wrecking yard. Worked on the wiring harness some more. The stand alone conversion for the LS-1 is easy, repairing the 1980 harnes after it has been butchered, then integrating it with the 2002 harness is proving to be a challenge. Making steady progress.
mocked up my freshly dipped serp set-up,front fascia/header brackets,and glass resined my bumper cover in preparation for the "parking/delete-relocation",and put a coat of metal2metal evrcoat on the ac/heat delete panel welds,and firewall"dimples"(DAMN i hate em!!!)

L.A.X-RATED, did you paint the serpentine brackets yourself? Looks good.
the "air pump" is hollowed out(shots out to darbysan! 8) ).i remove the insides/splines as so this allows just the outer "pulley"(which is not attached in pic)to spin freely,with the rest of the belt system,and as so there is no "blank void" where it resides,and also it throws off the "smog nazi's' that are NOT on the payroll :wink:also saves 35.00 for a delete pulley as well.tc1959 said:

We don't see these set up's with a AIR pump here, Mine has the idler pulley. That's a great way to do it with the gutted out pump.
