Looks real nice! Hopefully mine will look like that soon. Did you your LT1 come from a vette or did you just use the vette accessories? If you dont mind me asking where did you get them from?

The a/c bracket is actually aftermarket. It ran me around $250. I wouldn't probably buy it again. You can hit a hammer against the k-member and be able to clear the a/c using the f-body bracket. The a/c lines were cheap though, they were salvaged from a 89 V6 and then I bought a $5 adaptor and drilled holes through it and used sealing washers. I'm using f-body brackets and the bowersrodshop.com brackets.

The bracket has been ok though. It probably makes it easier when removing the passenger side header. And I've had to take it off a couple times.

I've been looking at alternatives for brackets, not really finding anything. The ideal would be to have the power steering on the drivers side, a/c on the passenger side, and no accessories above the valve covers.

Hey Firebat, looks nice. Can I ask what you used for those fuel lines? I am going to have to plumb those up sooner or later myself...

The braided fuel lines that connect to the hard fuel-injection lines are from thirdgen.org member
