Default !AIR system
ok sorry everyone I tried searching for removing air system and found nothing. So here goes:

I installed my new headers over the weekend and I have these two tubes one on each side that connect to the manifolds. They seem to also connect to the intake and the lid. Can I remove it and does anyone have a link on how to do so?

removing AIR doesnt add to power. just cleans engine bay and reduces weight

Master cylinder plug for an old chrysler at oreilly's fits perfectly. Someone posted that earlier and that's what I used for mine. I found it next to the pcv section, you'll know when you see it.
