That looks very nice! One question off topic....what do you do when you convert to an LS6 intake and you don't get the LS6 valley pan.....how does the PCV systems hooks up on pre 01-02 ls1 f-bodies?

To remove the tube just push it to one side, it'll release and you can pull it right off.

To remove it from the manifold, just get yourself a small flat bladed screwdriver and press down in the center of the tab on the manifold and pull straight out.

those are just stainless button caps from ACE hardware. I drilled out his coil brackets with 1/4" drill bit before i did the powder coating then went to ACE and got the bolts. I polished the tops up a bit also. I used socket caps on mine, either one looks nice IMO.
