Many thanks to LatinVenom for another great product. 

Just a question that I have not found an answer to -- why are the bolts in the frame for in the first place?

They are probably used for manufacturing tooling.

The first photo shows my tools used to reach the bolts on the sides.  Then the photos start with my placement of the brace in the drivers side, I accidentally placed it under a line on the passenger side and had to reposition it, then I was able to get the brace on the spot as described in the instructions.  Very good instructions by the way.  Even though the inside bolt on the driver side was a "B" it took me about 30 minutes to install.   I haven't had much time to test as the traffic sucked going to and from work.



Thanks for the photos and advice on the AC line and you a right-on on the inside bolt on the driver side was a "B"!!

They were put there so the LVFCB could be installed." GM must have known it was coming."

The LVFCB cannot be installed with those of us with DDM S/C kits. I looked at mine yesterday because I was curious to see where the mounting holes were and happened to notice that the passenger side mounting hole is obstructed by one of the S/C intercooler tubes.
