This thread may be a little repetitive to other threads.

Well I am rebuilding a 89 Iroc from scratch, the only thing it really still has is the suspension and disc brake rear axle.

I have an LT1 I am thinking about putting in there but after reading a few posts it has kinda scared me away from it.

Is there any suggestions anyone who has done it may have before i attempt to drop this engine in the hole.

sorry to make this really short but i must go some where quickly ill try to post back, i swapped the lt1 in, everything was fine except for the wiring part, i didnt have a painless one , i was using one from a 96 camaro, and i just dont know what the hell to do to make all of it work with the rest of the wires for the other garbage in the car :P .. to some people this sounds stupid, but im just gunna slap a carb on it , lol thats what i wanted to do any how, and i got agreat deal on the block any who, new block with the guts for 500.

i was reading that the ac has to be deleted but is this necessary? can it be added on in a new spot to fit in the engine bay?

Would you say it is worth the hassle doing the swap?

i used an a/c delete pulley, but u can still use the a/c but i heard u have to cut something, it hink it was the passanger side motor mount =/

It's not the motor mount, keeping the A/C isn't hard, you have to notch the cross member with a grinder or some sort of tool... for pasky it was a damn hammer :rockon: .... It's not impossible to keep the A/C, you just need a tool to do it.
