Default 2002 ls in 84 Vette

Hey guys...about 75% done on my 2002 LS into a c4.....
Please feel to answer any or all of these...
Questions:
1.what does this air hose connect to?



2. What does the flexible bendy straw looking hose connect to in this picture?




3. Do I have an "engine coolant heater hose" and what does it look like?

4. Finally, the 4l60 I have is from a 2002 camaro. Do I need a "park/neutral position switch"? What does it connect to?

Thanks

1.Air pump,you can delete all the plumbing unless you need it to pas smog in your area.
2.Looks like the evap line that goes back to the tank.
3.Not sure,do you mean the coolant hose that goes thru the throttle body?
4.Isn't it part of the shifter switch on the side of the transmission,you will need to retain the neutral safety switch that is part of the C4 harness to get the starter to crank.

Brrrr! A block heater, very common in the colder northern parts, I doubt you have one and likely won't ever need it in Virginia.

That makes sense. I don't have a wire to hook it to, but the connector is in the block. The donor car started in Michigan. So maybe they ordered that as an option.

Makes sense someone from BC figured it out.
Thanks

Ok guys, running down to the last few connections and hook ups....hope to be done by Carlisle.

I'm trying to hook up the ls water pump. There is almost no space for the two heater hoses that come out of the side. I want to pull the two fittings out and tap the holes. Then put 90degree hard fittings in.

But i can't find the proper fittings....what should I use?

This is how I did mine when I put an LS1 into a C3...

I believe it is a 3/8 and 1/2 inch pipe tap.

This thread may give you some other ideas for mounting locations...

Good luck.

Thanks, that's similar to what I was thinking. I would use a 2 piece 90 for one of the two holes. I would be able to thread in the first 90. The second one would need to be 2 pieces. One would be a male 3/8 to a female 3/8 90. Then a threaded 3/8 to 3/8 hose barb.

Any other ideas?

BTW, I can install the heater hoses but it's real tight...almost pinching. I was trying to find something like this in the right size.
