You need the same tools to disassemble and work on a C3 as you need for a C5. Except you need the tools in standard sizes, unless your Vette is a 1977+ C3, in which case you need the full C5 tool set in both metric & standard sizes: GM started the "soft-switch" to metric in 1977. Your can't work on a C3 with 7 box wrenches. That's ridiculous.

The two most used things in my cart right now are:
I also use my S&K SAE and Metric wrenches (long), Gearwrench wrenches (short), S&K wrenches (Short).............but that Gearwrench set is used everyday, and is excellent if you try to use all ARP 12pt like I do.
