Question penetrating oil and header question

I am taking off my manifolds for a set off longtubes. I have been using liquid wrench which is a penetrating oil. Is that ok to use or not? I am also removing my air does anyone know the vaccum cap size i will need for the back of the im. I also noticed the air goes to my stock ws6 lid. Is there a cap i can use that will fit that till i get a lid? Thanks Justin

what kind of headers are you getting? W/ EGR n AIR or without? If its without all that then you just need to take off all that AIR piping and call it a day and later on remove the air pump iff you want

It kooks 1 7/8 jet hoat coated and with no air and no egr. I know how to remove the air system but what do i do about where the tube goes to the stock lid. It just a whole there where the tubing use to be. Is there a cap for it or can i just tape it(i know thats rigged) i will buy a lid after install.

Personally I just used a few strips of electrical tape. Can't even see it, really.

SLP makes a plug for their lid.

Kroil oil is the best that I have ever used period. Not the easiest to find; but works wonders.

Thanks i think i will use electrical tape then buy a lid. Should i buy a 99-00 lid or does it still have the air hole? I will just keep the fluid wrench i can see it going between the boltbhead and the manifold.
