im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? ok all the air tubes for the AIR system lead to a little vacuum tree on the driver side valve cover. when i pull off the air tubes from there do i need to block off the holes? im pretty sure i can take care of everything else this is the only thing i had a question about. and i would like to get it done tonight so fast replys would be very helpful lol

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? Yes, you will need to block off the holes in the headers/manifolds. I believe www.thunderracing.com has a kit to do this.

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? i have a 2000SS and pulled all that **** out and got a ses, put it back (the vacume box) as well as the pump that now pumps air into my lid (JUST TO TRY OUT MORE AIR) wish i knew how to make it pump all the time for a little more air, pumps pretty good for about a minute. the hoses i trashed and left the box to stand alone with the one line from close to intake only on it and no more ses! pm me for more if you dont get my mumbling

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? This must be a 2000 and up thing. The AIR system in my 99 didn't have any vacuum lines, just the AIR tubing itself.

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? just plug up the hole, on the valve cover. Use one of the the bolts that holds on the coil packs they are a perfect fit.

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? WS6snake-eater, im not really sure what your talking about. on that little peice on the driver valve cover, i pluged the other end of the vacuum line that goes into the top and i pulled out the 3 air lines and the vacuum line in the middle on top of the tree. so im sure im all set on the vacuum end, i think. let me knwo if im wrong. now im just working on pulling out that vacuum tree.

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? Yes you are playing with your PCV system. Make sure you buy a kit from somewhere so the job gets done right.

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? what needs to be pluged? i pluged off the exhaust manifolds, and i put a vacuum plug on the other end of the vacuum line that goes into the top of the vacuum tree. what else is left to plug off anything?

Re: im removing my AIR system,what to do about vacuum tree? ok i think i have it all, as long as i plug off that vacuum line in the top of the vacuum port on the driver valve cover i should be fine right? its a 2000 WS6, and im pretty sure that is the only other line i have to worry about. but i want to be totally sure so let me know
