Vacuum and climate control
Greetz All,
There is a T in the vacuum line leading to the cabin’s climate control. How important is this to the operation of it ? Seems like a lot of lines, switches and relays back there that could be a source of vacuum leaks.

Ahh, ain't gonna work without it! NOT ONE BIT! There are NO extra unnecessary lines. There is NOTHING you can eliminate and still have a functional system.
If you wish to have functional vents, air conditioning, heating, and defrost you need this vacuum source.

If you just want your car to run well, you can eliminate about 90% of the vacuum lines and systems. Is that your question?
Some of the flappers in the HVAC system are vacuum controlled, so you'll lose that functionality.
