well this is starting to **** me off with trying to compress it for email. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this video back to TheBlueKnight ????
I also tried uploading to photobucket, and thats not doing a damn thing for some reason. So I dont know what else to do besides doing it over a messaging system such as AIM.

Will these help ? I did a Google search
Part 1

Part 2

If I can offer a bit of advice, One thing I don't see mentioned in all the how to's is to push out from the bottom the sharp, pointy, blood sucking push pins that hold down the weather stripping across the cowl edge of the engine compartment.
Another is to use 1 rubber band wrapped around the back 2 manifold bolts on the pass side to hold them up, and another rubber band to hold up the back 3 on the driver's side. IMHO, this is better than zip ties or garbage bag ties

^^^ wow i had no idea there was already videos of that out there
Yea I don't know how any of you were able to do the swap or any kind of work in general behind the cowl without removing those pins holding the weather stripping on? The first time I stuck my hand back there and got scratched; 30 seconds later there were all popped off. They were honestly the first thing I removed in the swap.
for that 3rd bolt on the drivers side that is a few inches under the cowl, i just used 1 rubber band and hooked it around the end of the fuel rail facing towards the front and had no problem.
But anyway, problem is solved. The second video of TheBlueKnight's hard work is on youtube.

Did you guys swap your oil pressure sending unit and knock sensors while swapping the intake? Just bought an LS6 intake and I'm looking to cover all of my bases. Also planning an EGR/AIR delete while I'm in there (Longtubes will probably be installed at the same time - race style). So far my parts list looks like this... (for intake setup)
(1) LS6 Valley Cover Tray (PN#12568002)
(2) 99-02 Knock Sensors
(1) 99-02 Knock Sensor Wire Harness
(1) Oil Pressure Sending Unit...?? - Do I need this/should I replace?
(1) Mike Norris Catch Can...?? - Do I need this since I'm going with LS6 valley cover?
(1) LS6 gasket set (Felpro?)
Thats what I have so far. Any advice is much appreciated.

Gotcha. I'm just nervous about having to pull the intake and replace a knock sensor after the install. My car has 113K miles so I'm pretty sure I'll just take care of that while the intake if off. I guess my biggest decision is weather or not to replace the valley cover while the intake is off. I hate the idea of oil passing through my beautiful new LS6 intake lol.

Egr I got an LS6 intake. I really appreciate the video and the posts here. It really helps. I am also doing EGR and AIR delete.
I have SLP long tubes already. I have a 2000 WS6.
I cannot reach the EGR tube on the passenger side header. Up on top is the AIR system bracket, and the AIR system was easy to disconnect, just two 10mm bolts. The same diamond shaped port is off the header lower down on the passenger side. I just cant get down there to disconnect.
I disconnected the EGR bracket from the head and from the old intake. So it is mobile, but despite moving it around I can't reach where the EGR tube plugs into the header.
I am doing all this from the top. Do I just need to jack the car up and try from the bottom. I was flying thru the install until this point.
Please help.
thanks
