Right now my car isn't running.. Ya you just pull out the soleniods and vacuum lines from the car. You just have to re-hook 1 or 2 vacuum lines.. I have no idea where it goes into the fender. Thats what I'm asking about...

I'm assuming I keep that "small" tree on the left hooked up!?!
On the "big" tree on the right. The line I have drawn. That vacuum goes to the back of my intake. Do I keep that?


Thanx

that one on the left is for the a/c. it goes to the "a/c" on the big vacuum tree on the right. the one that goes from the vacuum tree does go to the upper. keep that. should be on the "S" (source) though. on the vacuum tree on the right side, the second one from the right on mine is for the "bb" (brake boost) and thats hooked up. the one i took a picture of is different that the one you got circled "keep".

got mine working good. i still dont have the one connected in the pic on mine that i'm curious about (believe its the vacuum check valve) the egr vacuum and connection is disconnected and the connections for the 3 behind the psgr wheel are connected but no vacuum lines ran for those. going to let this run for a day to make sure its gonna be good before i go to removing the connections.

The only vacuum lines that are hooked up are: The big tree on the driver side, that little tree on the passenger side, and a small vacuum line that comes off the back of the intake and goes to the inside of the passenger fender..

My heater isnt disconnected!?! If your talkin about those 2 metal lines that are disconnected that go into the firewall!?! Then thats my A/C lines. I deleted my A/C..

Cool! Hopefully your car runs better now and all is good!

i removed all my vaccum trees and deleted the vaccum ***** from my car, but i'm going strictly drag. If you delete ur big vaccum tree make sure u connect ur brake boost to the supply line to the vaccum tree so u can keep ur power assisted brakes
