Default Vaccum Line and coolent lines to TB

The Vaccum line and the coolent lines that run into the throttle body, I see a lot of motors are capped off? Any reasons plus or minus.

These lines?

I still have mine minus the vacuum line b/c of the blower. Do you still have to go through emissions? There's no real benefit to removing them.

No emissions here in IL...So, really they serve no real purpose? Come on Pro, your the pro!

If the EGR is functional (= no EGR failure codes present in the EEC).... you need to allow that spacer to cool. For the crankcase ventilation hose to the TB, if you have a functional PCV valve, that hose need to stay connected to the TB.

Great answers...Thanks Joel....I thought if there was an advantage, I would remove them to free up some clutter. You know in these EFI cars, hoses, cables etc!
