Greetings Forums, I am preparing to do a LHU swap into my 2009 cobalt tc. Can anyone point me in the direction of a fabricator who sells the vacuum pump block off plates?

Be baller and keep the pump

I'm looking to to get the car back on the road by next week.
Did you keep the pump during your swap?

If so how did you route the pump hoses?

No I got mine from zzp and they put the plate on. I was being a little facetious but someone very recently did the swap and kept the pump. You can likely find them with a search. It was within the last month.

You have to buy the brake booster line parts from cars that come factory with the ldk. It's do-able but not necessary.

FYI I did ask Jeffrey to send me the block-off plate earlier this week. Just in case we don't get to give the brake booster pump its alternative function right away

Thank you all for the help, the LNF came out Saturday and the LHU went in Sunday along with new clutch and flywheel. She runs and sounds great!
Didnt rip rip into the LNF to see what exactly caused it to start losing compression but plan to do a tear down.
