Lets play a little game with this ad

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/engine-drivetrain-parts-sale/541003-complete-tpi-system-off.html

Name 5 of the 6 blatantly obvious things that prove this was an Fbody setup rather than a vette, and it was an 87 setup vs 89

The filter box thing doesnt count as he states it

Pulley's correct

87 was the only year you could have the serp/v-belt combo on a TPI. 85-86 was V belt (few late 86's got the combo) 88-92 were full serp

MAF isnt, vettes had MAF and SD setups

Lower manifold is correct as the vette had no EGR provisions. You can see the block off plate and hole in the intake gaskets

Cold start is correct as the vettes were without

Fuel lines also correct. Vettes were pass rear exit and fbody dr front

TB? Those didnt change even when they swapped to LTx

Older TPI and all Vettes used the large cap HEI dist

The 6 I saw:
EGR manifold
Fbody rails
Cold start bung
Old belt stup (Could be vette but definitely not an 89 as listed)
C207 wiring connector
Non sealed ECM. All vettes had an engine bay mounted ECM which required waterproofing. Fbodys were all in-dash units which did not require waterproofing
