I don't know what year yours is.
I did the bypass a few years ago on my '88. I don't recall the details, but I posted these pics then.
Maybe these can help.

LT1 is different.
When I did it on my LT4 I didn't use a kit. Just rerouted the hose.
Move 1 to 2. Remove the yellow elbow.

Yes it added like 100hp but some of that could have been the air foil I did at the same time.
It made it easier to remove the TB not much else.

I only gained about 90! Guess I need the air foil.
