Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
If you have not started yet, or after you remove the hood, and have some extra room and a friend, I strongly recommend removing the dog house. you will thank yourself in the end.
Much easier to clean and paint and place the engine and trans, fuel lines and A/C components. You can remove the electrical connections at the firewall and not have to cut a wire! The only wires I did not reuse was the small wire on the old alternator! Study the wiring before you remove anything, new and old. "This job is much easier, once you get over the fear" The rewards when finished are great!

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
That last pic is a set of fuel lines for a return style fuel rail. I thought yours was returnless? Take a side pic of the drivers side of the intake and post it so we can make sure what you have.

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
That effed me up too....I saw the cannister and figured it was a returnless...but then there wouldnt be two PTC lines. I'm guessing your right, and thats just a regular fuel filter still attached?

You have a return style rail, so I would use at least the portion of the lines that run down the back of the transmission to where the flex part is where they move to the frame. I usually cut them off there and run my own from there on back. You could possibly use more of them, but it becomes more cumbersome trying to use the whole line set.

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
Thanks alot for the infor LS1Nova ! I apreciate your help on this, probably need to keep them both, however I will not be running A/C for awhile it will be down the road.
I called Dirty Dingo today about getting some Mounts, the guy on the phone said they dont make them if you plan on running the lower A/C pump...so Im assuming alot of people on here do not run this particular pump, since they use Dirty Dingo mounts...his advice was pull it out and throw it away lol... so my question is this, do you just pull it out and your good to go or do you pull it out and put something in its place ? can some one enlighten me on what should be done here ?...thanks in advance

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
Yes, you can just remove the compressor since it runs on its own belt, nothing has to be added. So yeah, you're good to go so to speak, but you'll be sweating in the summer.
But when you decide to put air on it, you can use a high mount that several companies offer.
