I was just wondering what has to be done to delete all the emmisions on a '96 camaro while keeping the same stock manifolds. I will eventually move over to long tubes, but just wanted to see the best way to take these parts off was. I'll be retuning thru pcmforless also.

Just leave them on and take them off when you get the LT's in. You will not see a difference really with stock Manifolds.

yeah photos with manifolds would be nice and any other tricks to take parts off would be great too. I'm running pretty good with my manifolds, so long tubes would be in the future maybe.

How did you gut your cats? I plan on doing LT's and true duals sometime before the end of the year... But for now that might be interesting...

to gut the cats on the passenger side cut out the cat and weld in pipe, on the drivers side plasma cut the bottom of the cat and take a long crowbar and hit out all the honeycomb material, then weld on a steel plate in place. its messy but works.
