Default Thermostat install

Is it easy to swap out the thermostat in a 99 Vette auto with a Procharger install? What is the best way of doing it?

you might be able to get to it from under the car depending on how it's set up... if you remove the discharge hose that might give you enough room to remove the 2 thermostat bolts then pull it down while still connected to the hose and then undo the clamp and remove it from the hose... if that doesn't seem feasable then just pull the headunit and do it from up top

The thermostat on held by 2 bolts, I think 10mm so if you can fit your hands from the top then you're golden. I don't know how much room you have but if its tight from the top then you can try from bellow, That going to be really interesting and more tuffer.
