It mounts behind the fuse block assemblies on the drivers side.

Depending on what year car you have the Lt1 will just plug right in. Take the plastic end piece that is on the fan connector off. Then you take those wires and they connect to the factory harness. You dont have to cut anything on your factory wires. Leave the ends on and use electrical tape on the wires. You can cut them if you would like and soder them. They will work just like your factory fans.

I cut the connectors off and just crimped them together. I let the car run and get a little over opperating temp and they didn't turn on. Guess ill have to check the connections and soder them.
