Default Smog PROBLEM - Please Help i think i messed up

I was deleting all the smog accessories the smog pump has already been deleted , But the accessories like lines and this box hasn't . The Picture of the BOX below is what i was removing this is what i did

I removed the box with a bolt there's two lines coming out of the smog box ? or what ever you call that box lol
The one with the red circle around it is where the vaccuum line went from the BOX 2 the Upper Intake Manifold ...
When i removed it , the Car Started lopeing as if it sound like a CAM and the Rpm's are fluctuating ?

I was told i didn't need that box . i didnt think i need the lines from the box either what do i do now?!

By disconnecting that line, the intake is now sucking in outside air creating a huge vacuum leak. Im not sure if you could just plug up the line, I dont see why not except now crankcase vapors wont vent properly.

thats the charcoal canister, for evap emissions. it's seperate from the air pump, but still an "unneeded" part as far as performance goes. plug the vacuum going to it and you are all set.

You dont need it if you have no emmision testing. They make a smog delete kit, though i am sure you dont need one. I am not to familiar with smog pumps since i have never ran one, but someone on here will know. Man, your car looks exactly like the one i just sold. It was a 91,sunroof,ponys, red with black int.

I went 2 Part store and got Vaccum Line PLUGS and plug the upper intake !!

That worked!!!

Now there's another part of the Smog delete lol theres aTUBE on the passenger side of the ENGINE bay that goes to the back of the Intake ?
Now someone said that i have to have a sertant part to plug that is that true? or just a vaccuum plug will do ?i never looked behind the intake dont know

its not going to the intake. that tube goes to both heads, on the back. you need thermactor plugs, from summit, or go to your local hardware store and buy a 5/8-11 bolt, about an inch & 1/2 long
