I ran short on funds and this is what was laying in the garage, so i will be swapping to a Performer in the future to increase the low end torque.

When you do a LS swap, the Schoenfeld headers are worth it, they clear the shifter linkage and what not very well.

Mine ended up 269$ shipper from Shoenfeld, but they offer coated headers at a additional price, cannot remember how much nut it seemed reasonable.

There is a kit that will allow me to put the stock AC compressor in the top like stock location, i did not notch the K member or use mounts that would allow for the use of the stock LS style compressor and i did not want to get lines fabbed ect.

It is a stock hose for a 2002 Silverado, pretty dumb that GM did the outlet on the pass and the radiator inlet on the driver side, but it was to clear the induction.
