I found a pict for you of my old system, as you can see the air line is going direct into the engine room, and over to the other side and running back to the air tank together with the fuel lines....

WOW! you have alot of time and money invested and she is a beauty!. just out of curiousity i know you posted up a while back about how expensive tax was on your car when you bought it (i think you said you paid like $70,000 for it u.s.d?) new. did you have to pay a large tax on the white trans am from america to bring it into norway, or was it considered parts and not a vehicle so you didnt have to pay any tax to the government?

For the white one I only had to pay 25% of the invoice and freight in tax, not so bad, but if I should have plates on it for road use.... Abt $50-60 000 US in tax only, that's why i converted to 99 instead of buying a 99 model... There is one LT1 96mod on the marked now for $51500.-, and it is nothing special about it...Sick prices if you ask me...

What size line is that? I have 1/2" tubing and I don't think I can manipulate it like that. Thanks for the picture though, helped me out.

i see so your pretty much paying $60,000 for registration and stickers to make it "street legal" you sold the white car quickly, if you took the engine and transmission and wiring what made someone else want it so badly ?

I didn't take the engine and transmission, sold it with the white one, a dude with a 96 V6 Camaro needed it so badly and he pay'd me 11K for the rest of that car...I pretty much break even on that 99 and now I'm saving the money for a LS7 or something else LSx fun
