www.ls1howto.com for info on install

as for the spacers....

they just go on the back of the oil pump

2 spacers, they will only go on the correct side
Only thing to watch for is don't install the drivers side spacer backwards (you'll want the big hole in it to be right on the outlet of the pump)

Did you have to drop the oil pan some in order to get to the bolt on the oil pick up tube? It is in JMX's H/C write up. It doesn't look like the pan was droped in those pics. TIA

If you drop the pan, you will have to use some RTV on the back cover and the front cover when you put it back on. The manual says that the rear cover alignment is critical. The rear of the pan cannot extend past the cover or block, and should be flush with the block and cover. Also the 2 rear bolts on the pan use 109 in lbs of torque so be aware of it when your putting it back together or you'll strip them out.
