Stripping an 02 Astro
I've got a wrecked Astro in my front yard I gotta get rid of. I heard the steering boxes are ideal for SAS. It has a terrific low milage 4.3 Vortec in it but I don't have the necessary equipment to pull it. Does anybody know what I should strip off to save some dough with my Blazer 4.3 in the future?

Thanx a lot guys. I sure would hate to need an expensive part that I gave away in this wreck....
I replaced the Pitman arm about 20k ago. I'm hopin' I don't have to rent the tool again. Vans are always tougher to work on than trucks so I try to do what I can. The county is after me to get rid of it so I went after the easiest first - the 02 sensors. They are always tough because of the heat. I rounded them off with no success.
The cluster s/b fairly easy since I have been pulling them at the yard to match up my 96. 95/96 are unique. I guess I could always trade it off with someone for something else. I suppose I can take as much of the harness as I can reach. any other ideas ?
Oh, and what is a "hydro-boost?"

Hydro boost is what powers the power steering. Connects with the master cylinder for the brakes. If the power steering has its own pump and reservoir like what is on your Blazer, skip it. If the van does have hydro boost steering, pull everything.

Hydro boost is a power steering pump powered brake booster. The component between the master cylinder and the firewall does not power the power steering rather the other way around. I have a hydro boost setup from an Astro and it had the same power steering pump arrangement as my old Bravada.

My LT is the honey tan color. I pass up rear seats pretty regular and even scored a passenger bucket 10 days ago. Drivers seats are rarely in good shape....

Dang, now I went and learned something today! That means I'll be forgetting something else to fit this into my head!
Good to know, I always thought it was the other way around.
