Default New, Old guy

Hey gang, new to LS1 engines, - swapping into a 1958 Apache Truck, excited and nervous at the same time. I am use to mechanical - old school 350, 383 type engines. Now I have all this electrical and hoses I have no idea where to connect or if needed. The Swap came out of a 2002 Firebird LS1 5.7 with a 4L60E (which also lends to a few questions also).

I can provide pics and questions - I got the VATS cancelled, know the initial power cables for battery, starter, EFI and such, but there seems to be a Hose off the rear of the intake manifold, I would guess a vacuum hose to brake booster??. Where does that huckleberry go?




Thanks and happy engine fun

John...

Welcome to LS1Tech! From this angle, it looks like that is the vacuum source for the brakes.
