Doing AIR removal, and I have a quick question. First of all, I have a 2000 WS6 if you needed to know.
Ok, I got the metal pieces going into the manifolds unbolted and out of there and then I was taking the tubing out and I have a question about something that wasn't mentioned in the guide for doing this that I was looking at(the one from LS1Camaro.com). The tube that comes up from the air pump and goes around behind the engine bay has a little cylinder shaped plastic thing right in the tube where it splits and goes to each manifold. My question is, the guide says nothing about that, it just says to work the tube out of there. So what do I do with it? Just unhook the tube and leave it in there or what? Thanks!
(I'm in the middle of doing this to so if I could get an answer in a hurry I would appreciate it greatly
, thanks!)

So I didn't know there was anything to take out except the tubes , the metal things that go into the manifolds, and the pump. Now there is that thing there, some smaller thing that another guide I found shows removed, and some small tubes that I have no idea where they go and it's making me a bit confused. I didn't expect them. So what do I do with all this stuff? Could someone either explain it or give me a link to a guide or something that will show me exactly what to do with this stuff? Thanks again.

I know that there was one LONG Air tube that went around the back side of the engine. That I removed.
There there is a little black cylinder behind the drivers side head with three outlets thats has a hose going from two to them. Then a third really small tube that goes nowhere. I was told to plug that with a screw. I did.

Ok, so you just took off all the tubes that are like 2/3" in diameter and just plugged the little one coming out of it with a screw? What about the little air solenoid thing that was in one of the guides I was reading? Did you do anything with that?
