Re: lt1 cooling
Care to re-type it in english? Only under stand a little of it but I'll try,
Water pump This line usually went to an inlet at the bottom driver side of the 4th gen radiator.

Re: lt1 cooling
Get a radiator with threaded fittings. I did that and clamped a rubber hose on to one end of the coolant line, and the other end to a threaded brake line to the radiator. And you can delete the oil cooler to solve that problem. There is absolutley no benifit from it, and it is a place for coolant to leak into your oil.
