Default Power Steering for LT1 swap in C3

I used the stock LT1 power steering pump system with the addition of Steeroids Rack and Pinion set-up. As far as exhaust, i'm in California and had to make this swap Smog Legal so my exhaust manifolds are stock 96 LT1 with the exception of they have been powder coated inside and out. My exhaust mufflers are Magnaflows.

Default Didn't know link was unavailable

I didn't know the link was unavailable. I will check with the guy who posted it for me. In the interim, send me your email address and I will send thru email. Be on the look out for it so you can get it out of your email quickly because its a huge document.

I am wondering if you still have this information on the LT-1 transplant. I am installing a Lt-1 in a 1964 Coupe and feel your information would be a great asset to me. This is not junk mail.
Looking forward to your response,
Dale

i have the LT-1 motor and would love to have this information as well. Just in case i lose my mind and decide to make this swap. Rather just sell the motor, but no body seems to want to buy it...
tim_yancey124@yahoo.com. Could you please include me in your e-mail as well?
thanks

Default I'm back

Yep, I just got back from the SEMA show and it gets better each year! Paul, can't thank you enough for the opportunity to attend this show. Ok, back on topic; I just sent copies of my LT1 swap document to the emails addresses listed above. I think I should have published this document! :-). Nope, happy to oblige anyone who needs the info. Enjoy. Paul, the referee for smog can be reached @ 800 622-7733. Tell them where you live and they will direct you to the AV college.
