I took out the plug toward the back of the passenger side head and used the following to allow monitoring of temp in the head with an electric temp gauge: Autometer 2259 sending unit Autometer 2277 M12 to 1/8 NPT adapter Autometer 3421 electric water temp gauge, 2 5/8" You can't use the standard sender that comes with the gauge as it's too long. I got all this info off the LS1tech website and it was very straightforward and has been working fine.

Vintage Air Gen 2 Compac. Pretty big to fit it, but it did indeed fit with a little persuasion of sheet metal and some rough fab/welding. Local AC shop crimped the fittings free as long as I bought the hoses/fittings from them. Nice bulkhead fittings shown thru the firewall save a few bucks vs. the male-male ones typically used. I cut out my factory slider stuff in the center, leaving a little material around the perimeter, cut and painted a piece of aluminum, and screwed onto that material. These electric controls from VA are super nice and have a nice glow at night when hooked into the IP lights. AC rheostat directly carries the current for the AC clutch, actually with the binary switch in between that shuts off the compressor for excessively low or high pressure. Bypassed the PCM, only negative is that I have to manually turn on fans. Used Billet Specialties AC hose clamps, modified with longer bolts and sleeves to act as mounting posts through the sheet metal.

+1 on the battery tray mounting. I bent up some aluminum for the brackets and use rivet nuts so I would have to get a person with a wrench inside to hold the nut.
