Default Removing A&A kit from the Z. What to expect? What will I need?

Hey all, I posted up in C6Z section and didnt get much help. Anyway, I have decided that making 641rw on 345-20 Nitto Invo is getting pretty old. I seriously cant remember the last time I was able to put down anywhere lose to what it makes w//o blowing the tires off. I convinced myself that I could use the power if I was "talked" into a nice 60-180mph roll race. I havnt done that even once since I got the blower on.the car. Dont get me wrong I love the power...or the thought of it anyway ha, ha.
Anyway, when I go to remove the A&A kit...what stock parts will I need?
Here is my list: upper radiator cover, stock injectors, stock tentioner.
Isnt there a lower air dam piece up near the front grill? Leaving my boost a pump.wired up a problem? Leaving the Ron Davis radiator a problem? Thanks all!
Btw I dont know if Id be as eaver to go back to STOCK UT since I.already run an LPE 616 kit...the car still gets out of its own way. Thanks again.

There is an air damn piece you remove. No problem leaving the other stuff in there. If you pull the radiator you will have to put the oil cooler back up front.

You need an intake of some sort. Haltech/stock/etc. Obviously it would need to be retuned.

Or you could replace the rear wheels and get 19" with Nitto NT05R in 345/30/19. At your power level they WILL hook like a ****.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't do it!!!!!! Joking I understand you have to do what you feel is right for your needs. You may want to reach out to A&A and see if they could shed some light on the parts list you seek. A copy of their install manual may help as well.

Better have second thoughts! nI love my Z with my A&A kit. I dont need to do 180 to know it's fast. But blowing 1 liter bikes on a roll is priceless!

As mentioned work backwards based on instructions... It's mostly the air bridge, filter assembly (plastic parts), misc clips... Or call Andy as I'm sure he has all those parts kicking around from installs.

Also don't forget bumper cover has to come off - probably worst part of removing it.

Justin,

I'll add to this list later but for now...

- air filter and air bridge
- radiator shroud
- injectors
- stock PCM calibration (at least a non SC version)

The Z kit comes with a DeWitts radiator with built in oil cooler - to go back completely to stock you will also need...

- radiator
- oil cooler
