hello to all members of this forum. i have read tons of threads here about swapping engine and have bookmarks everywhere. before i ramble on i am extremely glad this forum is available to the masses and that people here are sharing experiences. before i began to ask questions here's where I am into my swap. I followed the " how to prep a third gen harness" thread and it was pretty simple. my first of many questions is I purchased two LT1 engines, one from 95 Impala SS and another from 95 fleetwood. the fleetwood engine has an oil cooler but the other engine doesnt. whats a good choice, to remove oil cooler and keep third gen radiator or use oil cooler and get radiator from 95 camaro? second i have started removing all emmisions components but i would like some imput on exectly what should stay and what should go. next is i havent seen any threads about preping the LT1 harness to merge with my prep'd third gen harness. i plan on doing a simplified tutorial for the non machanics like me whom have purchased service manuals and just dug in. i am not totally a noob becuase i change the engine in my 04 GTP and it was easier that i ever thought and completed in a week.. so please be gental with your responses because i need help and want to help...damn i talk too muck....lol

...thanks in advance to anyone with help because i will return the favor to a noob by writing this tutorial

I would not use the oil cooler it's really not needed. As far as emmisions I removed some of it egr,air pump but left the cat on. Here is a link to a harness prep.
