Are you installing the 96 LT1 engine into the 94 car?

If so...

Use the 94 LT1 PCM and engine wireing harness on the 96 LT1 engine.
Leave the 96 timing cover without removing the crankshaft position sensor.
Leave the 96 vented opti spark dont worry about swaping the cam.
Use the 96 opti spark harness.
Use the 96 LT1 rubber hose that connects to the steam pipe tube at the front of the engine.

If im forgetting anything else, im sure someone will mention it.

If using a vented opti you will need to get vent hose as well as a check valve that goes from the intake, to the opti and into the intake bellows.

Its a no brainer pretty much & then if you wanna do the lsx computer conversion youll already have the 96 timing cover in place & be one step ahead
