You're from the Philadelphia area? I live in Reading and work in Conshohocken. Perhaps we can exchange notes about what we need.
Ok you guys may or may not know that I'm a GM Parts Dealer.
Anyway, I ordered myself some new stuff like supercharger gasket, tb gasket, tb bolts, etc. In the list of parts it says we need it lists a LSJ MAP sensor and LSJ map sensor connector.
The LSJ map sensor part number changed to 12614973 from 9359409. The LSJ map sensor connector is part number 88988320. The map sensor connector is a 4 pin, 4 wire and the new map sensor is a 3 pin. I called GM technical parts assistance and they told me the original is a 3 pin, 3 wire, and gave me another connector part number to use?
Now I read that I may not need a map sensor at all. What to do here??

Not to be a stalker but what color is your LT? Im in Reading as well.
So last night I power washed and scrubbed the intake down. Today I primed it and it looks pretty good. Tomorrow I will paint it. I took pics before I started on it so we'll see what happens.
Yes, I got some high temp black paint. I will post pics when I'm done.

Casey said you need the LSJ SCIP sensor to plug that hole up (If I have quoted him correctly).
Personally, after I'm done reconditioning the intake manifold I'm going to tackle that job. I'm going to plug up that hole by some other means. I don't want to spend $40 or $50 to have an unconnected sensor there.

Yes, I'm going to call my friend over here who builds race cars and has had to fabricate things over the years and I want his opinion on how to plug the hole. I'm going to make it look nice.
One coat of paint is on the intake manifold. I sanded it down in a couple of spots tonight and hit the front with a second coat. I'll go out in the garage in an hour or so and do the 2nd coat on the back and then finish it up tomorrow and Wednesday.
I will post pics.

Casey, in my studies today I came across something I haven't seen addressed yet. No one has mentioned bolt #2, that I know of, in any of the how-to's. This would be bolt #2 in the attached document.

While I'm waiting for Casey to respond, I just finished reconditioning my LSJ intake manifold. Here are before and after pics.

wow, that looks secksy! I'm gonna have to paint mine too the next time the blower is off.
As for bolt #2, i dont think we have a spot in our block to screw it into. Even if we do though, its not needed at all. the one that goes through the alternator and the bracket into the block is plenty strong enough to hold everything in place. Again though, i think we just dont have that hole in our block.

Thank you for your comment about my secksy intake manifold, lol. I appreciate you letting me know about the other bolt. I kind of figured that was the case, but wanted to get the bolt before install day if necessary.
I also ordered a new valve cover today and sent to the powdercoater to coat the same color as my supercharger. I will post pics of that when I get it back from him.
Oh... that paint is 1200 degree barbeque grill paint on the intake manifold, lol. High temp just in case.

Ok, so I painted my LSJ header yesterday. I also painted the alternator bracket and the idler pulley bracket.
Also installed custom painted dash pieces that were the same color as my supercharger.
Last of the parts have been purchased. Now I need to make sure I have all of the bolts and schedule with friends to install.

Also working on bolting 1 bar map to the intake manifold this week.
