LS5 Engine Bay Picture

Would anyone here have a picture or a link to a LS5 engine bay picture without the air cleaner? I have an assembly manual but would like to see pics of a ncrs type car to get the routing and position of hoses ect correct.

Tried a search but the pictures didn't have enough detail.

Thanks, Kevin

Thanks, but I was looking for factory routing of hoses, clips, brackets ect.

Do you have the AIM? That shows quite a bit.

Wow, the NCRS must have lowered it's standards quite a bit since the last time I checked...

This is also not NCRS material (but nicely restored, thank you very much), and w/ the air cleaner on (sorry don't have any others), of a '70 w/ TH400:

Thanks, I think I technicly have everything hooked up correct and working, just trying to get the placement-routing correct.

I have a small (13") piece of 1/4" hardline that connects to my dist vacuum advance and the other end to the carb. It also has two small brackets that bolts to the intake to support it, not sure how this goes??? Any takers?

What year are we talking exactly? Vacuum advance in that (LS5) period was controlled by the TCS system. Quite complicated routing, including several components... And changed about every year, too... Sorry, no pictures but maybe this will help (also '70):

Edit: Maybe this one helps even better: (you can see parts of the coloured items in my first photo from above)

Sorry so vague, the LS5 is a 1971 and has the TCS in a different location than your 70, mine is on the drivers side of the carb.

It looks like a short piece of rubber hose was used off of the VA, then a 13" piece of hard line then a 5" piece of rubber line into the first connection on the TCS.
