I had to take the heads off due to a stripped bolt in the last rocker arm on the left side, thats why the intake is off, I also took the whole exhaust system, look at my sig. ALSO look at Post#12 second picture you can see no heads.

LOL That's vehicle zone in German, there's no such thing like that in here, Everything they have is for European cars.

Hate to bump an old thread but thanks for the pics. Apparently the ones from the sticky are long gone....

I'll be doing this along with an LS6 Valley and Mike Norris Catch Can, deleting the entire PCV as well. (Metco Breather)

I'd highly HIGHLY suggest you get that POS power steering cooler off that car before it bites you in the ***.

Here's a good thread.... Power Steering Cooling Success

For temporary while i was wiating on A.I.R delete covers for my manifold I took thin peices of aluminum and created my own caps by tracing out the gaskets. worked perfect. didnt know about A.I.R until I blew the hose off my passenger side manifold while at w.o.t.

Not to bring this back from the dead but I am doing this, this weekend.

The only question I have is after removing the pump, the bolt at the back of the engine. What do I cap this off with? Does it have to be capped??

I have the plug from ws6store for the air lid, my headers are capped off already.

Also after the pump is removed and that back bolt off the engine, is there anything else holding this all together that I need to remove?

Thanks.

Your cel didn't come on? I removed the air tubes just from my lt's and installed block off plates. Cel keep coming on for secondary air mulfuction. Put it back on and no cel. So I assume you would have to get it tunned to keep cel off?

Yep. But it won't affect performance or pull timing.

But to take full advantage, you need a tune. Mail order at least.

Yes I have had it tuned out.

So, what does this mean? Once you get back to the "T" fitting, you'll only want to remove the vacuum piece on the top (the line that comes from the AIR system). I simply used the vacuum cap assortment from Motormite (their "Help" brand) that can be found at any parts store to plug that top part. Nothing else was touched on/behind the intake

So just to confirm this, there is a T fitting behind the engine where the top hose is to be removed that is associated with the air system. Just for my knowledge, what would happen if this was not capped? And how many other hoses can be found on this fitting?

Also, I should just give Motormite a call then and they will know what I am speaking of? Is there a specific name or size that could expedite the call or so I don't buy the wrong cap? Sorry about all the questions, I really do appreciate it all.
