- The AC has its own seperate belt and pully so if you want to delete AC your main accy drive is still intact with no changes needed.
For your rad hoses. The lower one is just a flexible hose... the upper is made for a mid 90's jeep cherokee if i remember correctly... LS1 tech > hybrids and conversions section will help a ton
I havent had to deal with a driveshaft or cam selection yet... if you go to LS1tech there is a tab at the top for performance trucks and they have a thread detailing cam selection and what kind of mods you can expect to need to make the cam work for you.
