I removed the cam covers without removing the brake booster. A little trick is to have the C-Frame set aside and a hydraulic jack under the transmission (with engine mounting bolts loosened). This allows you to raise and lower the rear of the LT5 instantly as you lower it to remove drivers side rear two lower cam cover bolts and raise rear of LT5 to gain clearance between passenger side cam cover and screw on fire wall.
To install Cam Covers without removing Brake Booster you have to place those two drivers side lower Cam Cover Bolts in the Cam Covers before you position the Cam Cover.
