i just noticed that the wire harness has the 5 pin MAF and the LS1 is a 3 PIN.
The 5 pin includes the MAF and IAT pins.
Either i repin it to the 3 pin MAF and the 2 PIN for the AIT. I dont really want to go that route.
I would rather just get a 85MM MAF witch has the 5 PINs and i would need to get a tune.

I'm currently in the middle of a 99 LS1 into a LT1 formula 97 formula right now.
You don't need to swap out your cluster when you get the computer programed you just have to change a parameter for the tach and then use a 98 coolant sensor.
You're going to have to get a LS1 K member and motor mounts, the a arms shocks, springs will all fit from the LT1. LS1 Steering rack and knuckle.
On the CAI you can use any LT1 CAI, or make an LS1 lid work...it works really easy with a WS6 hood I've read.
If your using an LS1 Auto then you will need to add an plate onto the crossmember of the LT1 xmember as the tranny sits further back, you can't use the LS1 auto xmember it doesn't fit the body. You can use the LT1 tranny the electronics and everything hook up from 97 but you need a conversion kit.
I'm going to send you a PM on some parts and stuff. Let me know if you have any questions I'd be happy to help there are some great resources on here.
