Yep......about what I paid Safelite...........I had printed out all issues regarding how to remove the original screws and metal strips from a ZR1 just in case but the Safelite guy said he did not need the information as he had done several Corvette windshields before

Pictures before:
Old windshield (late model ZR-1, small cutout and minor delamination)
New windshield installed with new weatherstrip. Perfect!
Next, pulling the engine pieces and getting them professionally powdercoated!!!!

You cannot go wrong with New PCV hoses from Jerry (no more Zip Ties) and C Beam plates from Bill. Block TB Coolant and then no need to put anythimg on those Plenum Gaskets and no need to torque those Plenum Bolts to maximum spec 
If you block TB Coolant at Injector Housings....do not forget to place block in hose going to Coolant reservoir on passenger side. I use brass 1/4 inch hose splicer with one hose clamp on coolant side (The splicer is soldered closed). You can then remove all hose clamps on TB Coolant hoses along each side of Plenum or remove the hoses (I usually leave new hoses in place without hose clamps).
I am dropping a Blue Label Trans off for Bill (ZFdoc) shortly for rebuild and short shifter

This is my experience.....would be very interested in Demp's experience
Removing Cam Covers (Engine In Car) for Inspections of Camshafts
I have also removed the Heads with Engine In Car.....but you can almost lift what is left (the bottom end) out by hand. You have to have the engine removed for ease of Timing anyway.
