Also the bracket made to bolt the upper bolt of the alternator was made from the material cut off the upper section of the bracket.
well just let me know. I still have most of the pictures that I can send to you. Im pretty sure Tuckin20's went off of my advice and pictures and his turned out vevy well. He is currently still running it on his car right now.
A little off topic, but I'm just wondering, is it necessary to have a breather on both valve covers? My car came with different valve covers and there is only a breather on the passenger side.
There is a vent in the bottom of the LT1 intake that routs from the lifter valley up though the intake to the PCV port on the driver side. This then gets routed back into the intake through the engine as well as the ones on both of the valve covers. Venting the valve covers well enough will keep that toxic oil mess from going back in to the engine is the best way to keep the intake and runners clean as well as those exhaust recirc gases. You can use 1 on one side or 2 on one side or 2, one on either side as long as you can vent the lifter valley through the head gaskets and oil returns in the head on one side well enough to not build up pressure.

The dual filters was just a personal preference. Both covers were blank and like stated, I have internal baffles on both of them. I will be welding on AN fittings and running them to a catch can. But all in all was just a personal visual preference.
