thats pretty much it just pull off all the components, put the stock crank pulley back on, remove the fuel pump that's boutit should be easy and straightforward.

why not pulley down and get a little more power out of your vortech?

it would be wise to build your bottom end before you do the turbo, you'll want to crank up the whick eventually;.

you need to put the power steering lines and pump back to stock as well. The bracket that holds the vortech also holds the powersteering pump.
