because the O2 sensors are only a small part of all the junk you need, they sit behind the catalytic converter, which I doubt you installed in an LS swap as it does nothing in terms of performance and is only there to burn the exhaust gases that escaped the engine, ok so fine you install the cat, now will the checks complete, um NO!

what?

yeah its a mess, the system also ties into the EVAP Evaporations nonsense, ok fine, you install the EVAP sensor atop the intake manifold, there will the checks pass now? Nope

are you kidding me?

no now you need to run the evap lines to the gas tank, which means you have to install the stock gas tank, with the stock sending unit, and that has to pressurize to the spec expected by the PCM (aka brain) it's a nightmare

this is why we delete and don't care about this stuff in an LS Swap it's all emissions and SMOG test based
