Thermactor Air Bypass and Air Diverter Solenoid....

While deleting the EGR I got rid of the EGR Vaccum Regulator that is on the top of thepassenger side strut tower, right below is the Thermactor Air Bypass and Air Diverter Solenoid vaccum lines and electrical connections. Does anyone know the scoop on taking all of that out.

I would like to know that too, because those solenoids are obsolete for my car.

Remove them, remove/plug the lines and you're done. If you want the failure codes not to show in a KOEO self-test (none will cause the CEL tu turn on BTW)...... install a 75 ohms 3-watt resistor in their connectors...

nice to kno cuz im deleting my smog equipment soon. are you gettin rid of the smog pump aswell? i heard you just need to plug all the vac lines you pull off and then plug the back of the head where the connector pipe goes. oh and get a shorter belt. i guess its pretty easy to do. but i would also like to kno more too.

that's how i did mine. no check engine light, but i still have my egr. the holes on the back of the heads were a pain because of all the carbon. oh, and i used a idler kit for where the smog pump was.
