Default what a ummy I am

Hi to all
After racking my so called brain out and talking to several different tech people, with no answers I discovered that somewhere along the line someone installed a incorrect fuel pump
into the Vette. It does not have the hole to feed the fuel line through the cap. I have ordered the correct pump which will solve my problem.
I have my Dunce cap on

Hi
Well the LS3 is now installed and running with major help from a friend. We are running a 411 ecm and have everything correctly
EXCEPT the A/C. It just will not come on. I remember reading about a ground to the back of the engine, however, I can't find the post. Can anyone please give me some help with this problem.
Sent the 97 to the Dyno shop for a mild tune, we got 418 hp to the rear wheels, I didn't think that was to bad for an almost stock LS3.
Thanks fpr all the help in getting this project completed
Mike

On an f-body I don't remember anything about a ground but I think there was an issue related to a vacuum line on the back of the intake. I had problems w/ fuses blowing so I don't know if my a/c is working but my top vents don't. I don't think I connected my vacuum line from the a/c.
