I read a good bit about them but, if anyone has tips let me know. Also, on the intake cam on the opposite side of the cam gear there is some sort of cap on the end of the cam that looks like it taps into the journal. Someone know what this cap is called and do I really just tap it in?

I had to remove the camshafts from the head with the cam gears still attached because I did not have an impact gun handy. When I did this I broke the sensor that goes behind the intake cam gear. What is this sensor called? Anyone have an extra one they are willing to sell?

My ac system is still installed and I don't even think it works (never used it). I was told while the head is off it is very easy to take the compressor and lines out. If possible I would like to take everything out except the condensor because, I will just take that out when I take my current bumper off and put the 97-99 bumper on. Any suggestions on this?

Yep just pull it off. Take the compressor off and everything attacked to it and your are gravy.

Damn, wish I had the luxury of never using A/C. Florida heat is too unforgiving and I drove a car for 4 months without A/C -- never again.

But yeah, just ditch the compressor and everything else associated with the A/C if you never use it.

That sensor under your Intake Cam is your CAS.

Yeaup thanks, I already ordreded it and have it ready to go on. As of now I need to put the new head on, complete the timing job, and put a few small things parts on. I estimate about 10 hours worth of work left.

hurry up then..
