Ok, I'm doing an LS6 IM swap and of course it seems like I can never fix something w/o breaking something else. So I snapped the plastic tube connected to the pass. side of the manifold. This the PCV tube or what? Goes from TB to the back of both valve covers I believe...

Then while I was yanking the AIR & EGR out of the car, I noticed there was a small tube leading off of the thin one that connects to the back of the manifold. I'm guessing it went to my AIR? Can I just block this off? Do I need a new hose? Or what?

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!! TIA!!!

I thought the small vacuum line affected the Air Conditioning . . . .

And the tube that broke on the Passenger side of the manifold is the PCV port . .

i broke the pcv tube also, i got some rubber fuel hose and some small hose clamps and the fix has worked superb, in regards to the other tube the only one i can remember from my swap was the one that went to the back of your intake for the hvac controls.

random, do you know where the short little tube goes to that goes to that one on the back of the manifold?... this is confusing. lol. i'll see if i can get a pic.

Here's a couple of really bad pics. The Yellow goes off from the rear of the manifold to where I'm guessing the HVAC. The Red part goes to the back of the manifold. The Blue part I'm confused about. Anyone else have this? I don't recall this when I did the LS6 swap on my old 99 Z28. Is this a weird 2000 thing? Thanks to you all again.

I have never seen that?? The only one I know of is the one for the HVAC. That is weird.

Maybe it's some special edition HVAC vent... adds 110 rwhp! Wooo hoo! Yeah, I have no idea either, anyone know what this thing is??

Woody99

Also, does anyone know where I can pick up a cheap PCV tube? I called the dealership and they said it comes with the PCV valves and everything and runs somewhere around $100??!!?? ouch...

Woody99

nikon1999- can you give me details on how you rigged that up? I may just have to resolve to that! best of all, it doesn't sound like anything close to $100

I'm just using some hose that goes to a pcv valve that's stuck in the valve cover. I think it cost me like $6 total.

Most people break the oil pressure sending unit located behind the intake. Hummmm.

not to hijack the thread, but how do you AVOID breaking the oil pressure sending unit? i will be installing a ls6 intake shortly.

i'd say disconnect the big hose from the back of the manifold rather than disconecting it from the brake booster. Or disconnect it from the brake booseter, then disconnect it from the manifold. I believe that's what did it... twice...

Woody99

So as long as you have a hose connecting everything, then it's fine? What did you use to make the T intersection?

i dont get how anyone breaks the oil pressure unit I've only installed one ls6, but as long as your careful, and it was just me doing the work. Working around the unit was no sweat

Woody99

But back to my ?, does anyone know whats up with that tube thing?

Woody99
