    If you can get it, then get it. The main round plug on the trans can be tough to remove at times. You really dont need it for your trans because it is not an electronic trans. You can always de-pin it the best you can to remove it from the main harness and save it for someone that might need it.

    I just looked at lt1swap that looks like some good reading, Thanks droopy.

    capricefrk, I'm wondering what you mean by this, "The main round plug on the trans can be tough to remove at times". like can not get it out of pickup
    complete because of its size, maybe around trans. or something? or hard to unplug? Thanks for the Heads up.

    When I went to remove my motor and trans from the donor truck, I started pulling the harness first to get it out of the way and the trans plugs wouldnt unplug without breaking the connectors. So I ended up cutting it to separate from the trans. Once I had the trans on the ground, I had to pry at the plug to get it off the trans. Just saying heads up in case you run in to the same issue I did.

    Since you are there already, might want to take a look around for an electric fan wiring harness as well. You can always sell it if you don't use it, and they don't seem to be that common on Ebay.

    capricefrk thanks for the heads up, maybe I'll bring some WD 40 and a BFH just in case.

    crzy8 you have me thinking, I have all the stuff for a mechanical fan set up, I wonder if there would be any advantages to going with the
    electric fan set up, besides not having to remove the fan when replacing water pump. any input?
