LT1's don't have an oil cooler, at least both of mine don't.

Shouldn't need to take the engine out to get there...
Just need to put a "T" into the line going to the pressue side of the cooler. Plump the AccuSump in and it should work fine.
If yours doesn't have a cooler...put an adapter sandwich plate between the filter and the block. This gives you a pressure & return line to the engine. Put in a cooler and a "T" fitting on the pressure side and plumb it in....
You can do it without pulling the motor...

I just had one put in. It is a Morosso 3qt accusump. They installed in in the rear on the crossmember by my spare tire carrier (had to remove spare tire carrier). The accusump is connected at the oil temperature sensor. Looks pretty good to me, cant really see it unless you get down low and it is well protected. If you like, I can send you pictures later this week of it.

That's how mine is done as well.
I just ran it for the first time with the oil cooler and accusump this past weekend at Sebring in 100 degree heat.
210 water temperature
253 oil temperature
40 psi oil pressure in some of the high G corners
I am very happy with the results.
