Hi Gordon , how did you remove the Motors from the seats, did you have to ad shims for the rake angle?

I just put a set of C5 Z06 seats in my'80 last weekend. I ended up using the original seat tracks, and I bolted a 1/8" by 2" piece of steel onto the original seat tracks. I bolted the C5 seats to these pieces of steel.

You just unbolt the C5 seats off of their original seat tracks.

I used the original non power seat tracks out of my '80. The seats I bought had power drivers seat and non power passenger.

Did you remove the motor? If yes How. One last question was it a bolt in once you used the 80's racks?

The original seat tracks in my '80 were not power. The C5 seat just unbolted from the entire power seat assembly. I ditched the C5 seat tracks. I'm actully thinking about selling them to recoup some of my $$$
