Cap it if you dont have power booster for brakes, as it is a vacuum port.

At least your working on your car. I have been working on everything else but the Camaro. Let me know how the EFI system works out for ya. Congrats on getting the brakes completed! Have you got the power adder yet?

Looking good Stan!!! I accidentily skipped over the part about you having a baby, sorry!!! Congrats in advance on the arrival of the baby!!! Now it all makes sense, you haven't had time to put those springs in cause you were too busy making love all the time, cant blame ya!!! I like the looks of the Holley setup. Great job on the bracket and ECM location but what about air conditioning? Again, Congratulations!!!
