AIR removal ? Today i took off the air tubing, My car is a 99, and there was no vacum tube that i have read about, arent the 99's suppose to have a vacum tube to some sort of air valve ? I dont have any pics and havent started the car since were doing heads and cam right now, but does anybody have a pic of what the air valve and vacum tube looks like or where it should be, im confused. Thanks.

there is a round air valve mounted at the back driverside head. The valve will have 3 large rubber hoses going to it, two of them covert to hard tubes(going to exhasut manifold) and the other one goes to the stock air lid/filter. that valve will have a small plastic tube(very small) with a rubber end on it that is for vacum. It tee's off the vacum line the comes in to the back of the intake manifold.

As a neat little side effect, my LPE FRC's did not have to be modified at all to fit.

The three hoses I took off were coming out of the fender on the driver side front I pulled up on that hose, pop it came up, it routed back under the wiper cowl and into a plastic t or y shpaed fitting where it became 2 rubber hoses for about a foot to foot and a half maybe, from there the pipes turn into metal lines that went to each manifold.
Then I unbolted the air motor and its bracket, and removed them, followed by taping up the connectors that went to the motor.

That's all mine is. I think you got it all. Unless there were changes mid-year in 1999.
