You are missing a bunch, what is ICM?

Here's just a few that are missing:
transmission to engine bolts 55
torque coverter bolts 46
AC bolts
front nuts 74
upper bolt 36
lower bolt 59
rear bracket bolts 23
power steering pump bolts 25


Also, where you have a question mark in the listing, it means degrees. Example:
Oil Filter Adapter Bolt 15 + 50?Nm (11 + 50?ft. lbs.)

This means that you torque it to 15Nm or 11ftlbs, then you go 50degrees tighter

So to correct it:
Oil Filter Adapter Bolt 15Nm (11 ft. lbs.) , then go 50degrees tighter


Again, what is ICM? Inter Cooler Mount? Can't be it. Please help.

Thank you for the ICM help. I hardly would call it a control module, but if that's what GM called it.

Torque converter bolts are NEXT TO impossible to torque. It's not something you want to come loose on you. To do it, you lock the crank pulley OR you find a good screwdriver and a good hole or anchor point to lock the drive plate. There is always a way, you just need to have the will to do it.
