I beleive that was blocked off. When we did the headers we cut it off and welded it shut and sealed it.
Now the air tubes are still there tho.

Where else could it be coming from??

Evap system? Check the whole system. My gas smell came from a cracked charcoal canister that didn't get replaced when I got hit on that side.

Check your EVAP vent line coming from the rear of the car and it connects to the passenger side of the intake to a solenoid valve. You vent line might be cracked or slipped off. Here's the 96-97 EVAP stuff from www.Shbox.com he has a bunch of info so check out his site.
