I was removing some things today under the car to shed some weight and I came across this plastic box with a vacuum line goin to it on the passenger side of the car next to the horns. what is this part? can I just plug the vacuum line and remove it?


you can see this part from the access panel under the front bumper on the passenger side.



this part is located directly behind the horns.

So if I only have heater but no A/C can I still remove it without any ill effect?

The HVAC with not vacuum tank will revert to default and blow only on defrost, I believe. Someone chime in

Just plug off the vacuum line and pull it off if it's in the way. The blower may revert to the defrost position at WOT when vacuum is low and will not hold in the set position when you shut the car off and restart. Other than that the heater will function normally.
