I had to remove the fans, radiator, and it is pretty simple from there. Remember there are 6 bolts not 4 like later GM water pumps. (in reply to M.$tErNeR) Post #: 2

It took me about 3 hours to do, with a couple short breaks to clean up, and a break to eat pizza. What''s with you guys and your crazy fans/radiator removal?  I didn''t take any of that stuff out..... The only things I removed besides the water pump itself were the air pump/bracket and the air intake... But this doesn''t help with your LS1.  Sorry. (in reply to 95slvrZ28) Post #: 7
