Hello,
I see what you mean about the 'white out' area on that sheet.
My copy is the same.
Forurtunely the 2 added VIEWS, A & B, show much of the missing info.
Have you tried to use them to answer some of your questions about that area?
Regards...

Looks like we all have the same issue with that page.
Yes I answered my question, when I was looking at some photos you posted and found out where the A/C vacuum source is for the small black tube that comes from inside the cabin.
I'm doing assembly on my 71 that I finally did the frame-off on and there are a lot of things to put "right" so that the car will be as it came from the factory or even better.
I'm not hunting any NCRS badges but your work and work from CraigH gives me a lot of motivation to assemble the car to be as good as possible.
Helo,
I'm glad you were able to proceed!
The AIM can be frustrating for various reasons.
One the first reasons is that we're looking at copies of copies so end up with bad sheets as you showed.
However, it's perhaps the best source of information we have.
Carry On!!!!!
Regards.....
Here is that same page from my 72 AIM.
It looks much clearer.
This could be an area that had zero difference from 71 to 72. But I would not know for sure.
It looks to me like 95% of it is the same.

Hello Mike,
Now I'm confused.....
Are you saying you have an AIM that Chevrolet produced for use in St.Louis other than the one readily sold by many vendors that is now copies of copies of copies?
If so, that IS quite a find.
Regards......
There’s one for sale on ebay right now for about $1200. I paid about 20% of that.
This has the same sheet numbers, as you can see (C60 E5,e.g.) but it is thicker stock, single sided, and one or more generations earlier than we are getting now. It is in a 3-ring binder that has a clip on the top of the outside center spine and printed on that is a large V, Corvette, Assembly Instructions, and 3975762. Handwritten in two places is the word “shop. The tabs inside are: General Information ( red tab, with all the following sub-categories), bolting and welding, body-asm. and mountings, sealing, seats, doors, frame, front suspension, rear suspension, brakes, engine, transmission, fuel and exhaust, steering, wheels and tires, sheet metal, electrical, radiator and grille, bumper and misc. Then another red tab overall heading that says “Option Index”, with the following blue-tab sub-headings that each says “optional equipment” and a single letter a through u.
The tab# are professionally done, not like a lettered piece of paper slid into a plastic tab.
I also, with SIGNFICANT help from a well-placed friend, have put together a "master" 1971 AIM, with as many as 3 different iterations of certain pages. Early, mid, late pages, based on the change dates in the boxes at the bottom of the page.

Would you mind posting also UPC12 Sheet B4 (page L266)?
Here are the ones from my 72 AIM. They are much clearer than the 71 version.
I am printing mine now, and comparing 71 & 72 as I go....
The only thing I notice different is the buzzer at the top.
I must say, in looking at the two of them side by side, the 72 AIM is clear on almost every page, and the 71 AIM is a mess, with many faded out sections. I got the David Graham CD for 68-72 with a 2015 Copyright mark.
