Vapor canister ( want to clean up under hood)
I want to clean up under my hood when i put on my fast burn heads and LT4 hot cam.
There are a fist full of vac lines that go behind alt and cross over break boster and although done neatly it just looks like crap. Can anyone tell me how many of those lines actually control something other then fume removal it seams to me vac lines run to it and branch off it to go someplace ya would think did not need that can to get to.

If entertainment is how you guys reply or bragging ,look at my stuff. Maybe it is time to grow up .. Of all forums I am a member of this one is by far the worst with people cross posting and offering no help at all and thread jacking.
If you have nothing to add that is topic related just stay out of a posting . . .

I agree that all of those lines look like hell. A fist full of them probably can be eliminated. There is a vent for the fuel tank that you would want to keep hooked up. To what I'm not sure. Probably some vacuum source or vent on the carb. I have a schematic of what all this crap goes to. I'll email it to you if you want. Shoot me a PM if interested.

I sure hope you're not referring to Alan's photo post?? If you want to see how it SHOULD be done (and how clean it can look when they are done right) that photo should be a great guide for every one of us. Alan's car is amazing, and he's done a fantastic job of documenting all areas of his car. He's also willing to take time out of his day to share that info to try and help the rest of us.

I too like to have things look as neat and simple under the hood, and did some things to straighten up that area. Some of the lines could probably be removed, but not all of them. You should research what NEEDS to stay, and what you could live without. I removed the vapor can and associated lines from my car (the can was an empty shell anyway), and it neatened up that area considerably, but I doubt you can completely remove all the lines without losing the function of your headlights, etc. Perhaps some creative re-routing?
I'm just trying to make some suggestions without being inflammatory.
Good luck in your tidying up!

And as you suggested I will also be able to run them creatively and keep head lights as well as heater controls , PCV and break booster which is all that should need a vac source .

I agree about wanting to get rid of the clutter. It will have effect on originality but I can see where you aren't concerned about that so much. As stated be sure you know what your getting rid of by following the AIM and of course watch where you route things because you may need to get to them later and watch out for getting stuff to close to hot parts. My car has had a lot of vacuum lines removed and lots of extra wires put on for stereo and other junk that I'm slowly trying to figure out. Good luck

Concur, Alan has always taken the time to help me!
