I have to check my 90'.....I do not recall those two wire clamps attached to my AC compressor (what wires are they?)

But then again...I reroute vacuum lines and wires somewhat differently than stock when I rebuild an LT5. For example, the wire bundle going forward on driver side goes OVER upper drivers side A-Arm. I loosen the A-Arm and slip that wire bundle UNDER the A-Arm out of the way.

Are you checking fuel pressure (Schrader valve on passenger side fuel rail)?

Thanks there Cliff...

Coolant hoses are the ones that were on there. You think the clamps are a little too tight? I snug 'em just til the clamp is at the level of the rubber, in a different spot, of course...

The 2 wires on the A/C comp I think are the A/C clutch engage wires.

In Paul Workman's photo, I can't see them there either... maybe just out of the frame.

Unless you're talking about the 2 vac lines in the Blue bread bag tie? Not too sharp work - I know.

FP guage is still plugged in - I haven't gotten a good leakdown yet - think it still has air in the line. It held good first time, before I broke it down to find the missing socket. And cut the other O-ring in the process

Still gotta' check the vacuum to HVAC hose (hate to go into the dash for that, unless I can find out what circuit to jump, such that it's supposed to hold, THEN check), CC-to-PCV cross-over back in (withOUT dropping the socket), SP boots + wipedown, bolt the TB 2' butterflies into the shaft (thanks again for the screws BF), coolant, and the chip from MarcH for the 2' delete, plenum, ... Maybe another 2 weeks??? UGH..........................
