I decided it was time to start a build thread. I have been hanging around here for years. I'm not one to be able to contribute but have learned a lot from the group. This is my third s10 I've had a 83 Jimmy and a 89 Jimmy prior to the 2002 Blazer. Lots of little changes made over the years.

Finally got the harness buttoned up. I do hope I didn't get the cart before the horse with looming and all before installing harness. My approach wrong or right was to lay out the harness where it needed to be. I used romex wire to get wire length from the engine compartment and transmission. I used LS1swap for help and pcm tune. One thing to remember when using LS1swap is he is getting you to a stand alone harness so remove wires only when checking with what you need. I also approached this at working on one system at a time. I probably have 30 plus hrs in doing this. I do want to shout out to @oldeerslayer and of course @Harley . @oldeerslayer put me straight on the A/C wiring with the R4 compressor and the PCM tuning. @Harley was there for every question I had and I had lots. Most of the wires were extended by using matching wires with open barrel crimps. I then used 3:1 marine heat shrink wrap. I have heat shield that will be put on also.

Thanks to you!
@gimmefuel @tcmgb So right you are. Problem is not as simple as flipping the relays. They are not sealed so I would probably still have an issue. I decided to save the relays and put them in a water tight 4" electrical box. I has a gasket lid. I removed the inside posts and added studs so I could make it easy to remove the lid. I also used liquid tight pushin gourmets.

Why didn't you use weather proof relays? Here's the link to the weather sealed relays I used.

I bought the relays from Ebay as a made up set with fan connectors and wires.I didn't realize the relays were not sealed.So yes I could of scrap the relays and bought new and repined but since I already had the setup I decided to just put them in a sealed box.

Okay I see. The company that makes them over in China I'm sure their cost is only a few cents more to use weather proof but they're too much of a penny pincher to do that. But that's just me. being in the car audio and video & security field for the last 35 + years I would spend the extra few pennies then make sure the customer didn't come back. Especially if they live in the snow that salt will eat those relays terminals up in a quickness.
I made my own relay harness and I put the weather proof relays right behind the under hood fuse box. And grab power right off the extra stud in the fuse box which is already fused.
While my block is getting cleaned up and new cam bearings installed I am still loading the cannon. Found a 1991 camaro A/C hose line to go with my 92 camaro R4 compressor.. This should work better than the 92 S10 hose setup. will tuck nicely .
