There are some small vacuum lines that if not hooked back up will prevent your heater/AC controls from working. Make sure nothing is broke, then re-connect them to the back of the intake

The LS6 intake requires the use of 01-02 coolant lines. Some guys make provisions on the fins on the bottom of the intake so they dont have to swap the coolant pipes....I dont like hacking up parts so I would just pay the $50 for the coolant pipe/plugs.

yes and yes
this goes to the heater controls just splice it back together using rubber hose.

if using an ls6 intake just grind down the fins of the bottom of the intake.
i have a metal iuntake,what i done was cut the lines at each corner and flared the ends and used 1/4" hose to make the new lines it worked great and looks good as well
