I agree with CC, I think it was only on IROCs.

AlexJH's link is the one you should look at, V.

I plan to weld my own up as soon as college is out and it gets warm again! Plus I forsee a problem... seems the lower radiator hose has a downward curve in it between the radiator support & anti-sway bar. This looks like the spot for the Wonderbar. Seems to be a V6-thing; keep us posted on the job, FastRS!

You have a '91, right?

On my '86, a friend's '87, and the just-swapped '89, all had the upper hose on the passenger side, and the lower hose on the driver's side. This must be one of those random yearly changes by GM!
