I think everyone running the LSX would benefit from the information
Well, I will give you this bit 'o wisdom. The "TB coolant system" is really there to warm the TB. This is for your new Camaro that lives in a cold winter area. It's a closed system so you really don't have to do much to ditch it. In the case of a transplant just don't run any coolant lines to the TB. On my old car I cut the colant tubes off and plugged them with JB weld then painted the TB.

On a 4th gen Camaro you can easily bypass the TB, but this sounds like you're doing a swap into a first gen Camaro, right?
