Default General question...




Any ideas on what these 2 attachments go to? I'm trying to reinstall the ac system and came across these. I'm thinking the bigger one goes to the windshield washer system...

The top picture sure looks like a Pop rivet. The black and tan plastic thing reminds me of a vacuum check valve. A better picture would help me here.

The AIR pump system has been removed. It pumps air into the stock exhaust manifolds at start up to heat up the cats. Strictly a pollution control thing, not needed. Can't tell if you have headers. The AIR tubes would need to be eliminated for headers. Or block off plates on the stock manifolds. The vacuum tube with the elbow went on part of the AIR system on the rear of the intake manifold. It has to stay blocked off for your AC/heat/defrost to work. You can get vacuum tube caps at the auto parts store if you don't like the looks of a pop rivet and whatever that other thing is. Someone just used whatever they had to block the vacuum tubes.

You can do a search here on the AIR system to see what it looked like and you should see reference to blocking this tube.
