A few LT swap questions to help me finish
ok so im not that far from having this beast running,but im running into a few things that im unsure of there home.
1.) The Water pump:there are 3 hookups on it...from what ive read,the drivers side on must be tied into my upper radiator hose am i correct?
What about the other 2? im assuming they go directly to my heater core,if im right does it matter what goes where?
2.)Throttle Body: do i need these 2 lines that come off it hooked up? or do they get plugged?
3.)Opti Spark has 2 Vacumms that come out of it...one i found out goes to my intake..where does the other go?
4.)My factory Fuel Pressure Regulator on the fuel rail has a hookup for a vacuum...does this just go on my intake somewhere?
Any help/pictures would be great!

re: A few LT swap questions to help me finish
1) Two on the pass side go to the heater core. Plug the one one the drivers side and the old port on the radiator

2) One is PCV, other is EVAP. If I remember right the top is EVAP and gets plugged
3) In my friend's 79 swap, there was only one port on the opti and it tee'd midways, one going pre-TB intake, and one was ported to the manifold. We changed it to directly to the intake manifold port. Its purpose is to suck moisture and humidity from the opti with engine vacuum
4) Send it direct to an intake port
