    First I will be swapping my engine harness, Got a GTP ECM w/4t65-E Std tune, Headers, Homemade intake, and a full top end.

    Ok now the questions...

    1: Is there a good write up on where the sensors and vac lines go?

    2: The headers I got from ebay had this extra stuff with it and I have no idea what for. See Pic

    looks like a box of things irrelevant to headers.

    search for L67 vacuum routing.

    First link didn't work, thanks for the second. My other question is the fuel rails, will my l36 lines connect to the l67 rail?

    The puller i rented from o'reileys had the special bolts in the kit. I bought them before anyway but the kit had them. And yes the fuel lines will fit, but one of mine kinked so be careful. I have a lot of other info if you need it.

    There is a return, its just in a different spot than the L67 one.

    Yea you can drop pulleys but you need to do more mods than the equivalent GTP.
