I live in Pacifica and my mods to come are as follows:
MS3, Patriot Gold Dual Valve Springs, LS2 Timing Chain, LS6 Ported Oil Pump, Powerbond 25% UD pulley, Pacesetter race ceramic Long Tubes, TSP True Duals with dual manual cut outs, ummmm..... MSD 8.5 Wires, NGK TR55, and LS6 Intake Manifold. I think that is it

I have the $13 crow bar tool thing and now i have the hang of it so its working ok. And yes i am putting the car on a diet and deleting the AC i never use it. And as far as the cutouts go im not a fan of them, i bought the set up with them already used for $200 and its in good condition so im not trippin , And i am having alot of fun with this swap but i cant wait to jump in this thing and go. Im working on a video cam, anyone who lives in nor cal feel free to help me out and film it im hopefully gonna be at newtech to get it tuned on saturday.

No big, any Chevy dealer should stock that.
I forget the part number, but we had to do that with my friend because he just outright dropped one in my mechanic's pit and it was lost forever.

The patriot springs use the super 7 locks...the PRC use stock locks. Super 7 locks are nice, but hard to come by if you need them on a whim.
Glad to see you finished trent. I got a charger for the camera, so I can take some video for you. you just need to get a mini DVD so I can burn to it.
