Need Advice plz
Hi guys, K i own a 1990 5.0 lx coupe. I deleted all my smog and egr, yes i have the mil elminator. My question is while capping off one vaccum line i started tracing all of them to see if they are all needed. I want to clear my engine bay of all the junk.
Well i traced the vaccum lines to the rear of the p/s strut tower where there are these electrically controlled solenoids or w/e. Can i just remove these what are they. I'm assuming for emission control stuff.
Second in the p/s fender is 2 plastic bottles that the vaccum lines go to. Am i correct to assume those are vaccum ***** / canisters to hold vaccum? If so can i just delete them. Next is the other plastic bubble in the p/s fender actually looks square to me. Wat is that ? Sry if this is vague.
Ne help is appreciated thx.

Are you talking about these(referring to the red text!): (I un-bolted the top part so people can see all three..)
If so, then yes you unplug the wires, cap off the vacuum lines, and remove those solenoids(all three).

Those vaccum ***** wat are the purposes of those.? Just to be able to change settings for heater while the car is off? Well i no longer have my hvac unit. So i'll just continue to pull the crap i don't need off.
