Default Removing AIR/EGR right now.. Weird Part

need more help down post 11

------------------------
Well I'm installing my LTs and True Duals right now, taking time to delete AIR and EGR..

I started with the AIR system following this guide http://ls1camaro.net/sections.php?op...ticle&artid=70

well right and left pipes go straigth to a "something" and from that "something" goes the plastic pipe that goes to the pump..

Whats this??! HEELP

EDIT: forgot to add, this thing is bolted to the back of the driver engine head

I have a 2000 Formula and I had to remove a plastic vacuum switch from the area you are talking about. It was bolted to the head and I plugged the vacuum line just to be save. Do you have the same setup?

Well the part in the bracket that bolts to the head is kind of like a cylinder with a vacuum hose plugged into the top of it. I just plugged the line off and removed all the hoses. I have no problems or driveabilty issues.

That little dealy should be round with a vacuum line and two larger hoses to it.When I get home I'll look to see if I still have the pics.At any rate should have a hook that a 15mm bolts was holding it.

it has two vacuum hoses, one from the "connector" to this cylinder and another that looks like goes from the "connector" to intake manifold back...

i removed the cylinder.. and disconnected the vacuum line from the connector.. would that be ok?
