Emissions Equip - What can be left out? I’m right in the middle of installing heads/cam and it really bugs me that there are so many stupid hoses and brackets on the intake manifold that don’t look overly necessary. I have already removed my AIR system and I’d like to know what else I can remove to clean up my engine.
Any details/pictures of what can be left off/blocked off would be great.
Thanks!

Emissions can be tricky, check with your tuner, he should know what can be turned off with no codes and what cannot. I do know that it is not as simple as remove it all and turn it all off, that will not pass in H-town. In H-town there cannot be any codes and several of the systems has to be working in a ready state or it will fail. The visual part of the test is up to the eyes of the inspector if you know what I mean.
You can still rip things out and have the computer report a working and ready state for them.
As far as emissions stuff, I dont know what else you can remove under the hood besides the AIR and EGR (which you dont have anyway).
