Default Question 81 Vette

1) Can I remove easily all the black plastic stuff to put an air filter like the edelbrock one. To be like this : http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...47_11_full.jpg

2) Can I remove all the part for the air conditionning? Do I need to do some special thing. Bypass hose, etc...

you can, but remember that stuff is there to get cool air from in front of the radiator. You would have to put in new seals to seal the rad support to the hood.

Pulling the AC does not require any bypassing, just remove it.

Yes, it is easy to get rid of the well designed stock breather and choke your engine with thin, hot, under-hood air. God bless, Sensei
