Default 92fast tb vacumm hoses??

I would post pics but the app won't let me so bare with me I'll explain best I can...

2001 trans ls1
Ok 1st off on my92 fast tb on the passenger side top of the Tb there is a bolt blocking a hole looks like mb a 1/8 bolt

And on the passenger side valve cover towards the front there is a 90degree "pipe" I know that's no the correct term but that's also plugged off with just a rubber cap..

Should these both be plugged off or should they run together I've heard both yes and no?? Inputs If pics are truly needed I'll try my best on getting them

There should be a fitting that goes into the passenger side of the TB, which a 3/8" ID oil/fuel line hose will fit over and go onto the 90* fitting up front on the passenger side valve cover. This is your metered fresh air inlet into the engine, and yes you need it.

Where could I get the 3/8 part for that would just a reg hardware store work. Or would it have to be special ordered??

Hardware store. Being the TB with you and start checking 90* fittings... They'll probably be brass.

Or you could also call Some of our sponsors and see if they have anything on the shelf that would be plug and play and look better than a brass fitting. But the brass one will get you up and running.

Has the hole on the TB been threaded or is smooth..?
The FAST TB comes with a press fit 45* or 90*, so the hole should be smooth. I'd check at you local auto parts and hardware stores to see what you can find that'll fit.

Yeah it is smooth but people I've talked to said it's ok that it's plugged off
