*useful tips when you are swapping a ecotec/trans4l60e from a vt-vy into a vs*
swap the wiring loom over so it plugs into the vs body
exhaust manifold needs swapping since its wider in the later chassis
had to cut away a section of the bellhousing on one side to fit the exhaust cos the auto is wider as well
a/c compressor is different and has different fittings, also has different mounting bracket so you will have to swap all that over if you want a/c, also the idler pulleys are different sizes i think.
future mods extractors, plenum/intake spacers, big bore shiny throtttle body, polished maf and a tuned chip
