checkout shoebox.com his website has it I'm pretty sure. It's not a bad job really and you'll get to reseal your intake out back where they used to be prone to oil leaks from GMs shabby seal job.

Pulling the intake on an LT1 is cake. No distributor or water passages. Pull all the wiring, hoses, TB, alt bracket, then the 12 bolts and it's off!

Same here. No need to pull the intake. On my 94 it didnt throw a code untill I pulled the solenoid off the wiring harness.
