Hahah I still have the original brochures from 85. Along with all new weather stripping, replacement decals, badges, even the roof stowage instructions preserved in wax paper. lol

That is awesome! That's how clean I want mine to eventually be. Is all the A/C stuff new or refurbished? It all looks brand new.

Re: Finally done! 400 Ponies. Just need a hood!
The air conditioning stuff is all new.
The new pump came with the crate engine, the hoses are from four seasons ordered off of summit racing for a 1988 camaro (since the A/C pump stock on mine was on the drivers side) However I hate these coolant hoses. They loosen off after a heat cycle and leak a bit. I'm going to order high quality silicone hoses I think. As for the condensor and evaporator they are original.

I know it's crazy how well it fires up. That Holley street avenger 770 is a great carb
