Can I get rid of this box? I think I remember hearing that it controls ur power options, but I don't have any power options, so can I get rid of it?

From what I've been told, if you have no power options and no factory alarm you can remove it. I'm going back in after mine this spring, hopefully I can pull out a few more pounds of wiring with it.

Hey, if you can, take a look at my other thread I made in here too and let me know what that is if you know, thanks again!

No problem...it's winter and I have nothing to do. -10* with the wind chill tonight, not even worth going out to drink. lol.
As for the other thread. I'm not sure what it is, however, that line runs to a vacume canister mounted down under the frame (kinda by the bottom of the coolant tank). When I pulled it apart I had asumed it was all for the HVAC since it ran back to the dash, I left it in since I didn't pull the heater. I believe the other side runs to the back of the intake by the map sensor. If you pulled your HVAC I would just cap it at the outlet on the intake.

If that is the box on the pass side mounted down on the kick panel, I know it has the "dinger" in it and also makes noises when using keyless entry remote to lock/unlock. I left mine in. Your other thread I agree with GM, if all hvac is gone, like mine, take it out.

I'll keep it around just in case it gets rid of something that I don't want it too and throw it back in if need be.

That's what I thought when I was thinkign of pulling mine but I was told that is not the case when I started a thread about it. I guess you could always unplug it and see if the car starts.
