I just replaced mine with a MSD and yes you definantly have to take off the water and air pump. Just try to hold your wires out of the way of the coolant if you didnt totally drain your car when you take it off...it tends to get quite abit messy. There is 6 bolts that connect the water pump and 4 for the opti.
Yeah after looking at it a bit more, I figured it out to be a big negitive, damn god forsaken LT1s and the Opti-spark.....I' just got it back together from the cam swap too..(couldn't remember if there was room or not to get it out) one thing I didn't double check bites me in my ***..(ignition timing is wayyyyyyyy advanced..ex. It fires on the exhuast stroke..YAY!!!

I didnt know you can adjust the timing with a factory unit? On the MSD you can adjust it +/-5, or maybe your opti was just shittin out on you. And seriously if you are gettin another one i would suggest getting a MSD pro billet.
