Passenger side spark plug replacement? What is teh best way to change the spark plugs on the passenger side of an LS1 Camaro. The easiest way seems to take my car to work and discharge the A/C system and remove the 2 A/C lines that run along the engine. If there are any other trick they would be greatly appreciated thanks.

No need to go anywhere near removing the AC lines. I remove the air pipe, move the coil packs up and out of the way. #8 is the only pain, some get it from underneath. If you haven't seen it, there's a plug install writeup at installuniversity.com

Egh!,....If your a larger guy like me and you have large hands, wrists and arms.
...Its almost a better and eisier idea to get under the car and take it from there. Just my .02!

It's not as bad as it looks after removing the air tube and a coil pack or two like said above. I did all mine from the top. #8 would have been cake if it hadn't have been jbwelded in from the factory. Guess GM decided against antiseize to cut costs.

LT's...get them. 
I can get all of them from the top with taking the coils off with my LT's on. Takes me probably 30 mins for a change. Gapping the plugs probably taking half that time.
