can 96 LT1 stay running if battery removed ?

Yeah, I wouldn't try to do this. Your alternator is just there to replenish the lost power from starting, and give a little more to run accessories. It will most likely kill itself after 150 miles of use like that. Either overheat or fry - both? You can report back if you want
the same exact thing that happens when you have a low battery charge condition or even just high load on the system - maximum alternator output. sure it could be bad for a long period of time but its really nothing different than normal operation
you will have no problem at all with the battery disconnected long enough to swap the battery - if it stays running
but, the better option would be to just remove the battery and charge it on a low amperage setting for a long time. if it is so dead that jumper cables are not helping chances are that the battery is just no good - and driving around is not going to help you or the battery.

So I jump the battery from a Good Battery ..... But no Go
Then I plug my portable Jump Kit.
Then it slowly turn ...... then booooom ..... with one or two cough....
barha barha barha .....
It started to idle...... I removed the Good battery and Jump kit.......
Now car running off its own and charging dead (almost) battery......
Turn on the Stereo.. A/C ...... and drove it........
.... Drove it for 17 Miles
Stop it kill the engine....... did some office work..........
came back after 15 min........ car started back up like it never had a dead battery .............
I guess........ it charge the battery up........
Did few other stops no problem.......
Thanks guys for advise...... I am glad I didn't drove it without battery and end up frying the electronics
