I see that manual shift crossmember in there and it makes me cringe... I've cut out a few of them and it BITES!

Nice work, keep it up. I love my a/c, though I rarely use it--sir thing about the truck makes me want to roll down the windows and hang my arm out

Thanks, I agree but it gets hot enough that I like having AC on those hot days.....as does my wife!

And just to be clear, a friend of mine is doing this work. I wish I could do work like that but I can't and even if I could it would take me 5 plus years to do it. He hopes to finish up around Christmas.

What accessory drive setup and radiator/fans are you using?

I went with everything that Boris recommended being as he's done a lot of these. Radiator is a Griffin with a Summit fan. Taylor picked up the acc drive through Rock Auto IIRC but I don't know the brand.

Headers and coils and the fuel system starting to get routed.
I need to make a decision on exhaust soon, not sure which mufflers to go with. Who's running what? Not looking for crazy loud idle but would be fine with some noise under throttle. Thanks.

Make SURE your gas tank is well vented. I ran a Wabro external pump with a Corvette fuel filter/regulator with a modified stock tank. My stock tanks vent caused a vacuum in the tank and caused running issues. Looking good!!

Thanks! Running a custom tank with no vent currently but yes, a vent is in the plans.

We have run the Magnaflow SS oval mufflers on two LS builds. Good sound and not overpowering at idle. This is the one we used:
