1981 engine bay stuff / questions ??
Hi Guys - newbie here with a newly acquired 1981 - love this site!
I've been learning quite a bit just lurking, but ready to ask a few questions and hoping you guys can help...
I have a pretty-much stock '81 setup (except that my exhaust CAT has been deleted / replaced with straight pipe)
Was doing some intake cleaning, and noticed some stuff not connected to anything - thoughts and feedback on what it is / do I need it appreciated...
Found these 3 connectors dangling / not connected to anything (including the green single wire connector by my hand) - these were passenger side / underneath the air intake snorkel...
Same area had what looks like a plugged vacuum line...
That connects to here (towards the passenger firewall)...
Again, any feedback on what these are / do I need would be much appreciated. Thanks Guys!

From what I can see, just the air pump/diverter is missing.
As said, green wire is for testing the dwell on the computer system. Looks like carb has it electrical connectrors plugged in so computer is probably still in circuit.
Pretty sure those 2 connectors are just for the air pump.

Similar to what I had....My smog pump and diverter valve were damaged by heat so I removed them and forgot what the connectors were....
