Battery relocation
What years and models did Chevy relocate the battery from the right side engine compartment to the right rear trunk compartment? More importantly, WHY?

On a coupe with manual trans and a dry sump the battery was relocated to the right rear to make room for the extra oil reserve. Don't know what year it was started but it was not an after market "thing".

Z06, ZR1, 427 vert, and manual GS have the battery in the rear. The dry-sump oil tank is located under the hood where the battery would be.
