Throttle Body Bypass
1996 LT1. To bypass the throttle body correctly. There is one hose with a 90 degree bend on the passenger side, Is the other hose that I connect together the same size hose that comes from the radiator to the FRONT part of the throttle body,above and almost touching the thermostat housing?

BTW, if you ever have a mechanic work on your engine, make sure you tell them them this is of your doing. I usually turn my own wrench, but I needed some AC stuff done and the shop removed the bypass and put it back to stock thinking they were doing me a favor. I didn't notice it for months.

95-96 are different. All he has to do is what tblt44 already said. No adapters or parts of any kind needed.

Do you need to plug the 90 degree hose? After pulling the drivers side hose,should I put a plug on the outlet to prevent dirt from entering? Thanks for the info

Some people put caps over the tubes justto clean up the look
95 and 96 are easy no need for a adapter.
