TB bypass problem for lt1

I ordered the kit off from ebay for $10....It looks simple enough but the directions are for a lt1 on a camaro/firebird...and the fittings are way to small..Are the throttle bodies somehow different...I have a 1994 vette...and the parts supplied are just way too small..Thanks

Two new hoses required, and buy 2 cap offs for the TB connections that are now left exposed. This is the "cleanest" way to do a bypass for your '94

Hey Mike, where are those images from? I'd like to get that upper hose.

Thanks!

(the pics I posted were from a word document that another member sent me about a year ago, so the prices may have gone up a little bit)
