Default AN fittings and braided SS

Not meaning to hijack this mans thread, but here is my setup for the steam lines. My banjo bolts and lines were clogged with a mix of antifreeze and some goo that resisted attempts to dissolve.
The pix should be self explanatory. Basically pipe fitting to AN elbow, pipe to AN, and a Tee and stainless lines to a barb fitting bypassing the TB.
Braided stainless is rated to -40 to +300. I don't see any problems with that kind of performance.

so the cars all done (mechanically) im going to get it registered tomorrow or the next day... i do have a few questions tho i have a couple idiot lights on ABS INOP, SES (but thats prob for the air pump i forgot to bolt it back up), airbag, and low coolant i dont think i unplugged the airbag sensor but possible, as for the abs i have no idea, the low coolant kinda has me stumped i bled the coolant and the rad is full (unless i bled it wrong the 2 valves had me a little confused)

If I understand you correctly, I think you can do the throttle body bypass and just return the steam/coolant from the back of the motor to the coolant recovery jug.

Both heads have to empty into the line going to the top of the radiator. It doesn't matter what it goes through.
I had trouble finding regular plumbing pieces to do the job. I'm no plumber though. I just used the AN fittings because they look nice.
BTW I have a used LT1 coolant line that I didn't use, for sale.
