2024 C3 of the Year Finalist- Modified
Default vacuum line removal

My project on my 70 BB keeps growing. I'm pulling the motor soon and it will be a good time to work on steering, suspension and wiring. I purchased Richards kit for both headlights and wiper door and would like to remove as much non needed vacuum lines as possible, right now it looks like a bundle of snakes. Any words of wisdom as to how best to determine what is needed and what is not or at the minimum what has to be left on for carb and distributor and heater. this is a non AC car but does have power brakes.

thanks in advance,

*****

It’s a lot simpler than it looks when you trace the lines per the diagrams.

Hey *****-

Thanks to Willcox- they have documented EVERYTHING!!!

You can also see some diagrams in the AIM- Willcox has a digital version which works great as you can do a word search of it-
