My LT1 weight-loss program

Step one:

-Traction Control Accelerator Cable Controller Removal
-Cruse Control Module Removal

My Non-TCS Accelerator cable came in so I was able to do some work in this nice weather. Only was able to work for a hour before I started to get sick again....

Before:



After:





Next up is the STB, A/C, ABS, some of the interior...

EDIT: As expected, "ABS INOP" and "TCS OFF" lights are on. Ill get those tuned out when I get my new rear gears.

nice man. is it possible to remove the traction control but retain the abs and have it be functional? do you need a new abs computer that doesn't have t/c?

I'm fairly certain that just TCS can be programmed out. It was on the questionaire for PCM4Less.

not yet. When I pull the ABS I will be putting one in. I only got that done before I started to get sick again.

I just removed all of the abs and power brake components. swithed to manual brakes using the strange mopar style master cyl. Picked up an adapter plate from Ed Quay race cars to mount it to the firewall. He had told me u don't need a proportioning valve just replumb the the car. He had built 6 D/SA camaro's with this set-up and work fine

Step 2:

-AC Compressor, condenser, dryer and lines.
-Front Sway Bar
-STB

Next I tackle the interior. I know this isn't much but its a starting point.
