Correct. That is why i assemballed the suspebsion, axles and associated apparatus before centering the engine/transmission unit and fabbed the mounts. Having a center axle shaft and two identical length axle shafts does make the job simpler.

I know the Cobalt SS supercharged axles fit the F40 and I am assuming that is what you are using. But it got me wondering because I have never looked, do base model Cobalts use the same axles?

No.
The F35 has the same 27 spline spider gears as the F40, but it was only used in the SS version of the Cobalts. The standard models used the F23 which uses the stock Fiero axles.

Quick question. I bought a parts car with a nice interior for my 88 swap project. The parts car is ab 86 GT. Will all of the interior and dash items interchange with the 88?

I appologise in advance for not knowing how to mark areas on photos, but these photos are of various hose connections on my LFX engine. I am struggling with what they all are, what they connect to and if they are necessary. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Daryl
Additional info:
Pic 1. 3 hose fittingsfor coolant near radiator hose fitting.
Pic 2. Black hose from radiator hose fitting and vacuum hose fitting from gadget attached to intake plenum.
Pic3. Metal hose fitting @ left end of cam cover.
Pic 4. Another angle of pic 1. Also shows fuel inlet from tank.
Pic 5. Taped over AC hose connection point on AC compressor.
Pic 6. Vent connection on right end of cam cover.
Pic 7. Close up of pic 2
Pic 8. Relocated oil fill cap.
Pic. 9. Fitting on intake.

1. Two heater core fittings plus a connection to the pressurized surge tank
2. Possible throttle body coolant + high point bleed connection to pressurized surge tank
3. Probably PCV vacuum connection
4. Ok.
5. It's taped over.
6. Probably PCV fresh air connection
7. Ok.
8. Ok.
9. Probably PCV fresh air connection. If you rotate the tube, it'll probably line up with the fitting in #6.
Looks like you have a broken fitting on your intake manifold above the center cylinder in the rear bank.[This message has been edited by Will (edited 11-05-2019).]
