LT1 swap coolant/overflow tanks?
What are you guys doing for coolant/overflow tanks? I was thinking of just getting some vented overflow tank from jegs or elsewhere... Any idea if there are problems with this? I was looking to get rid of the coolant tank and keep the engine bay and empty/clean as possible, should this be ok or does anyone recommend against it and why?

Thanks

I used the stock ls1 bottle under the battery and the other stock ls1 wiper bottle under the front nose.
All cleaned up.

Yea, I like how that looks all cleaned up. And I am not going to run the washer fluid anyways since i am removing the wipers and wiper motor as well.

I am going to assume you have no issues with the cooling system them and you just fill the system and keep an eye on the level every so often?

I still have an overflow bottle just like a stock ls1.
There is no reason to have problems.
