Camshaft replacement question
When your changing a cam on a c5 do you have to completely remove the condenser or are you able to roll it up and out of the way?
Thx

Check out LS1HOWTO.com. They have to whole install written up with pictures. The do head removal and installation but only because they are swapping heads and lifters. If only a cam install, no need to do that.

Cam change
I used the LS 1 how to directions , just changed cam , gears , chain , oil pump & added chain tensioner , drilled & pinned the crank & balancer (25% underdrive) I cut some 8"-10" wedges out of 2x4's to push the condenser up just enough to give me a little extra room to work , cam cleared easy. I did the entire job by myself (no "x-tra" hands , nowhere !) I'm almost 70 .
