!air...
!air... I just removed it per the little how to guides around the sites and have a few questions hopefully someone can answer.
1.) The electronic sensor to the air pump... where's it go now? Can it just be routed back to the source and removed? (I didn't look and see where the source was.)
2.) I bought block off plates from LS1speed and they fit fine but I'm wondering if it's supposed to smell like they're burning. Is that just the protectant of the metal getting burned off or should I look else where?
3.) The tiny vacuum hose that comes out of the plastic router looking thing in the back... Is there a real way to close that off or should I just put a screw in it like suggested in one write up?

I just got rid of mine yesteday, go to https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...2&page=2&pp=10 it is right on. Remove it all, block off the fittings on your headers, if you still have them, I got the offroad headers. After removing all of the AIR, find the tube coming out of the back of the intake that went to air solenoid and plug it with a screw or whatever you have that works. The link shows it best. I used it and had no probleems.

TTT for question #4: Just added.
4.) Where can I pick up gaskets for the AIR blockoff? One of my gaskets broke and now when the car starts up I can feel air escaping from that point. Would it benefit me to just remove that gasket and put some RVT sealant on the blockoff plate and let it set or track down said gasket and then replace it?
