Default LT1 coolant overflow tank replacement???

Well I relocated my battery to the rear of the car and now I need some ideas on how to ditch my stock coolant overflow tank. My plans are to run a Y-pipe off my TB and then have 2 filters one on each side. More a less just like the driver side with any other CAI but I would have one on the passenger as well.... So in order for this to happen I need some ideas on removing the overflow tank and then ideas on how or what I should replace it with and where. Any thoughts would be great, thanks!!!!

oh and i put it right next to my battery so it fits snug...although you relocated your battery, you should have plenty of room even with the dual intake setup. i would also put a guard in between the overflow tank and pass. intake filter incase for some reason you start overheating and the tank starts to overflow.

That is slick as **** quick95! Very clean looking engine bay. What do you all think about my idea? Do you think I would have better results with my LS1 lid setup that I have know vrs the 2 filters, one on each side with the under skirts ram air duct version that forces air to the filters????? I mean I already have the ls1 lid conversion done so it's not that big a deal but both sides look empty as **** know all though I do like what you did quick. Damn I love your car it looks identical to mine but you have more ponies, different hood and a better looking engine bay oh and your pulling the wheels lol! I love medium quasar blue! Very nice color and sort of rare with the black top!

Yea I like the LS1 lid setup i had good results using the FTP 104mm Lid with the CHRS1313 ram air setup.......I'd stick with that..........and thanks!!! you think that pic was clean wait till this year the motors out and i stripped down the egine bay and im simplifiying and painting and clearing......should look pretty sweet
