I think I'm going to have my GF's dad make me an intake mani. I just need to block off all the vaccum right?Is there any vaccum line that will be needed? What would I do about the fpr either have a tap on mani or tap from brake booster? 2nd question Heater lines.You got the 2 heater core lines that go into your firewall.Do I need to have them? Would like to not have to worry about How would I go about blocking it off? Or just have a pipe that connects the inlet/outlet? Don't know how it works..... Please enlighten me.

only things that need vacuum is Brake booster and FPR. however, to cut back on vaccuum caps...i suggest you use a hose and plug 2 at a time. you'll plug emissions and other useless stuff twice as fast. just as long as you keep the vaccuum inside

Joey, when you are removing your lines you should do a write up. I am interested in removing my emissions and vacuum lines on my spare motor, but I don't know where to begin.

Only thing you need back there is brake booster and fpr. Then the ones that come off your throttle body to radiator.
