She's Alive!
LOL...the engine is VERY clean...I was just picking at you about the bottom part of the engine not being as clean as the top part. See the sway bar and the wire loom...and the alt and stuff. Pieces you cant see if the front of the engine was on. But dont listen to me I am a little OCD about all of that kind of stuff...to say the least!
BTW how hard where the rear header bolts to get too...did you get them from the top or from under the bottom (if possible?) I am thinking about installing my LTs this week and I am really not looking forward to it!

The rear bolts are not a complete nightmare. I did them all from the top, but it helps that I'm really skinny. I'm not sure if you can go from the bottom. You might be able to if you have the stock manifolds, but I'm not entirely sure.
Do yourself a favor to take off the oil dipstick tube before you do anything. Also, remove all the coil packs, and I'd suggest removing the valve covers. It makes life a lot easier
Fair enough, and yeah, the sway bar looks filthy, and the wire loom isn't the cleanest. Other than that, I try my best. I'm pretty **** with it. I've never driven it in the rain lol.

Like I said I was just messing with you! Does the dip stick just pull out like on small block chevies? Also did you take the AIR off yourself? Once you remove it from the manifolds is there any vacume lines or other lines associated with it that are attached to the back of the intake manifold or should it just all pull off fairly easy?

I did take the AIR off myself. I don't believe that there were any vacuum lines for the AIR, but I believe there might be on the 2002 cars. You'll have to look into that a little more. Mine did pull off very easily though.
