AIR can stay.
EGR has to go unless you got the SLP version with the EGR.
You will get a code; but get it can be deleted with hptuners or LS1edit.
Easy install, just dont brake any sensors or get anything caught under the intake when you are putting it on. Also you are going to need two rear coolant plugs and a crossover pipe for the swap.
Since emissions are not a concern get rid of the AIR and EGR.
Block off plates from our sponsors will take care of the provisions on the manifolds.
Happy holidays to you too.

Thunder Racing sells them I believe...Speed Inc. does as well.
You can get the kit for the swap from most of our sponsors I believe. I know that SLP sells the kit. I just got mine from the Delearship. Was around 50 bucks. I can get you the part numbers if you want...

they are on ebay also for 15 bucks for all 3 bloackoff plates. Also dont forget the coolant pipe and plugs. Right now i took apart my whole car and once i got down to put the new manifold on i realized i was missing these so now im out of a car for a few days. These are also on ebay for 59 bucks.

So if someone is installing LTs and an LS6 intake mani at the same time, theyll need...?
GM coolant lines for intake
GM coolant plugs for intake
What else?
What plates are necessary to get rid of the AIR and EGR system?
Thanks,

I wouldnt need the EGR exhaust block off plates as the LTs dont have EGR provisions
Wouldnt need the EGR intake plug as the LS6 ine i have doesnt have one.
So, then, all I would need is the 'LS1 AIR Block-off Plates' for the swap?

I did this swap about a year ago. I custom made block-off plates for the EGR, but kept the AIR. One thing that you need to be aware of that I wasn't until after: Watch Out For The Oil Pressure Sending Switch!!! It's located right behind the manifold and there's a hose that goes behind it. If you pull the intake out before removing the hose, you'll be buying a new oil pressure sending switch!! I did!!! Just be careful pulling the intake. The oil pressure sending switch is tall (about 2") and has a body made of cheap plastic - very easy to break the top off. Do a search on it and you'll see what I'm talking about!! Good luck!
