Update: All back together. Looking way better and I like the blacked out look of the engine bay. few things like wires and cap should be changed but stand-by.

Fired right up but still have not done the trans fluid flush and filter. This being said, it goes down the road but only for a bit then I lose the trans. Have to shut it off and it'll get back in gear and shift through all gears. My assumption is that there is coolant in the trans system and the viscosity is not sufficient for the TC but I am not sure.

Coolant system seems good but gauge doesn't function so I don't know the temp at the moment, but fans kick on and off like normal.

No smoke, leaks, etc. AC blows cold but the function to switch from floor to middle to defrost vents quit working. Only blows to the floor and defrost vents. Main vents not working....cold none the less.

Additional info: I got the title and now brings to question if I continue the venture on this project or move on to something more of what I would rather work on (C5 ) But my mag wheels will be in from powder coating tomorrow, maybe that will keep the mojo flowing (but the wheels can be used for a C5 too!)

Some before and afters of the engine bay deleting all the nonsense.

CCi, the engine bay looks great. Great job refreshing that classic. Mixed on you selling. But I also have a ‘99 Vert that I love driving as much as my 91. I understand your wish to get the ‘00. I will be seeing you on the C5 section.

Hey, what did you do with those Vacuum lines you boxed up?

I gave them to the new owner to put back stock if he wanted. Thanks and see you on the C5 section!
