Yeah. It'd been done in about 30 minutes with time for a cold beer. Take it from a guy whose had to do the replacement on both engines...GM was thinking about the DIY guys when they designed the LS family motors. Making the switch to LS was the happiest day of my wrench turning life!

An LT1 water pump isnt that bad...take off the air intake, then 3 hoses and 6 bolts?

I had to take my PS pump off the 94 to get at the WP bolts.
