Default LS1 lid conversion with cowl hood?

Has any one done the lid conversion using the radiator support and not notching the headlight support?

I was wondering about this too, like running a Harwood if you could do this.

Pyro thanks but as you noticed he cut the headlight supprt.. I don't want to cut mine, i think it's tacky.. I'm trying to use the entire lower box with trimming.. I am getting close and hope to have it done by the end of the week..

I just did it and my buddy mike (Black94z28) did it on his camaro. Just get a dremel and you cut the bracing that is towards the front of the hood, down by the latch. If i had photoshop I would show you exactly but you should get the idea of where to cut
