I know I never disconnected anything on the V6 except for the trans cooler on facelift cars.

My memory is a bit vague, but fairly certain it was a later car where the A/C lines came over the top of the rad, unlike most Omegas where they a re to the side of the rad.  It was one of those moments the first time I saw it when you had to ask what GM designers were smoking, seeing as they had previously managed to do it perfectly well.

Its not a common setup, but I've seen it on more than 1 Omega.

As said, dead easy check for OP to make, as if it does, it makes the job more difficult if you want working A/C after.

I know I never disconnected anything on the V6 except for the trans cooler on facelift cars. There's probably enough scope to leave the trans cooler lines attached on the 4 pot. Another consideration is that the 2.2 is a facelift only engine

Can't recall if I changed the radiator on my last 2.2 estate, I probably did given all the other work I did to it, but again nothing stood out as being exceptional 

I think the 4 pot radiator is a smidge narrower than the V6 one as well, so finagling it in and out should be much easier.
It only needs lifting far enough to get the rubber blocks out and be able to lift the pegs over the back of the upper mount so you have easier access to the condenser/trans cooler bolts... They both stay in situ.

You mean you found the wires pre installed near the shelf ?

All depends on how the conversion was done

If you have a Haynes manual to hand, the later models wiring diagrams should give you an idea.

With the ECU in the drivers kick panel, the autos have alot more wiring than the manuals, and if you're going to the trouble you'll probably be removing the dash board to chase it all out.

You should only have a black and white wire going to the reverse light switch plus it's return which runs to the reverse lights.

It's been a while, but I have used an auto engine/gearbox harness on a manual car with the minimum of modifications to good effect.

My car was converted from auto to manual by previous owner, since i was taking the engine & gearbox out i decided to chase out any unused connectors from the auto. These lead to the blue multi plug.

After de pining all i’m left on the blue plug is these 2 black / red wires, are these auto related too? Can they go or do need to stay?

Had the Range Rover valeted today, not been cleaned inside or out since the beginning of December, it was rotten completely caked in mud from our trips across the farm with the dogs, I normally pay £35 for the complete job & I thought this will cost me at least £50 the lad spent over 2.5 hours on it every bit of crud removed from the wheelarches as well,it looks fabulous now & still only £35 ! Well pleased 👍

Opti is already 111. That avatar photo was taken by one of the colour photo pioneers!

I agree, wouldn’t want to be around in 46 years time. World population 10 billion. Trump and Putin ( or at least cryogenic versions ) will still be having peace talks for Ukraine and rest of Europe. Everybody will routinely carry guns, take drugs and drive around in homogenised Chinese EVs. Pay Per mile auto deducted from your chip’s wallet. At least we lived in the best times ever.

I was recounting a holiday we took in 1992 to Mojácar to Spanish friends last night. Once there we hired a car and drove to Granada, parked for free outside the Alhambra and went in. Very few folk, on to Seville and so on. Drove the car ike it was stolen! Only way to travel such distances. Roads were empty save for a few lorries. Very very different now.
