I was debating if I should or not. At this point I don't think I will. I'm hoping it will be fine and the car will just run until the fall. The manifold was not that tough to remove and being a dry manifold like an LS1, its pretty quick to do. I pulled the one off my old 95 STS without issues back in the day just to look under it, I was looking for a place to hide nitrous solenoids, lol.

I've been repainting and installing laminate flooring throughout my apartment so im hoping to finish that soon so I can get out to the Camaro.
Plans are to ditch the heater box and get one of those smooth firewall plates. Ive had bad exhaust leaks at the collectors, regular 3 bolt flange style, and i've tried different gaskets with no luck. I'm going to cut them off and make a slip fit connection instead. While im down there I also plan to put in a different starter and new battery cable.
I'd also like to put the factory fog lights back in and put the 89 style chin spoiler back on.
Last year I put in that Moser 9" and I hate the locker rear, so goal is to change that center to a Truetrac. Doubt it'll get done before the nice weather though.
