help me simplify the vaccum lines, for a 2L type 4motor vaccum line Options

[surfaccing]

i've been going through the pelican parts diagrams and i can't understand why i have to have that large ugly air cleaner and why i have to route the fan shroud to it and blah blah blah.

again i come from the vw bug world and hell we don't have any of this junk.
now i can understand the distributor vaccum line and the throttle body vaccum line. buy what the hell is all that other stuff?
i want to take the deceleration valve out and the air cleaner off. i pretty much just want a motor that is the bare basics of what i need. i just want injectors and a pod filter ontop of the intake system... is that so hard to do?

You can remove the Decel valve and both lines
You can remove the cold start AAR valve and both lines

Let me back up and make this easy.
There is one you must have. You must have the large vacuum line from the MPS to the intake plenum (not the air cleaner) in place.

All other lines are optional...honestly. (flame on boys...btdt)
I would suggest you leave the distributor advance line in place..
You can remove the distributor retard line and plug that port.

Some of the lines increase drivability, some make it easier to start, some make it easier on the MPS (though I dont see alot of real world evidence)
Some make it more emmissions friendly.


Depending upon where you live...the system may need to be completely setup as original to pass registration testing...
Its a pretty easy system to learn...

I run no decel valve, and no AAR unit...car runs fine.
