    Cam install question

    Does the AC condensor need to be removed when doing a cam install in a 2001 GMC 1/2 ton with the 6.0 liter engine?
    Or can it just be maneuvered out of the way? Thanks.

    Yes, it's on the passenger side, but it's about the same height as the radiator and extends past the middle where the cam would come out. I'm just wondering if there's enough give in the AC lines so that it can be moved a little to allow room.

    Thanks, mc. I always feel better when someone gives me the answer I'm looking for.

    Only if you want to change the lifters, otherwise, the heads and intake manifold stay on.
