Alternator is at a pretty hard-to-get-to location on the underside.
Might not be so easy to 'just take it A-zone', unless you take the whole car & they test the system while it's running in the parking lot.
And I agree with RPM again, that's an LS1 intake with the EGR hole plugged as I previously mentioned. There's no LS6 manifold there.
You may have confused some wording. LS6 intake refers to the actual intake manifold. Which has some better flow characteristics over the earlier 'LS1-design' intake manifolds. You'll find that is also one of the first mod's people do, is swap to the $275-350 'LS6-design' intake manifold. (Standard on the 2001-2002 F-body.)
The airlid refers to just the lid area alone. Not the 'intake'.
Yes, it has an aftermarket airlid from 'LS1 Motorsports'.

And once I get an aftermarket cam and set of heads, the LS6 will allow for more power to be made than with the original intake and a H/C setup.
I consider upgrading the intake to be supporting mod. Just another piece of the puzzle.
Nice looking ride. Congrats on picking up your first LSx. You've come to the right place to ask your questions about it.

I paid $300 for my LS6 Intake (used) and I'd say it was worth it according to my "Seat of the Pants" Dyno.

Looks like they want almost $500 plus shipping.
Like I said, I paid $300 for mine, shipped. If you can find a nice used one for a similar price, that leaves you $200+ to spend on another performance part.

For $300 or less, the LS6 intake would be a good mod on a stock engine. For $500, I would not buy one unless I was planning to do a cam or heads/cam in the future.
The gain on a stock engine will be very small. But an LS6 intake is worth a decent amount of power with a cam or especially heads/cam.

LOL, the search feature is going to be your best friend on this one. There are as many different opinions as their are heads and cams on the market. Honestly, it will be in your best interest to do your preliminary research by searching and reading this forum, then once you have a general idea of what you want you can ask more specific questions.

Id say you got a pretty fair deal on the car, id throw some rear end gears in it that way youve got the rebuilt trans and rebuilt rear end then you can focus on your engine.
