I figured I would just take the whole system out, since I wasn't using it. ;)

I know, but they don't make them. I wonder if I could get another one, and just turn it around. Hmm.

Vadim, I took all that out a couple years ago, and used LS1Edit to complete the deinstallation. ;)

Well, the '01s and '02s don't come with it, so that's why I removed it. It's probably mostly just a weight reducer, but it also cleans up the engine bay quite a bit.

nice...

I would like to remove it too. Do you have a "how to do" link? Or anything I should watch out? How did you close the hole on the intake?

I got a block off plate from Nineball on LS1Tech. Now you can get a nice billet one on Ebay. All you do is remove the part that goes in between the exhaust manifolds. It is really easy, but you will have to fabricate or buy the manifold EGR block off plates also.
