Pic 1 - looks correct if the electrical connectors are at 6 o'clock on the front.
Pic 2 - left tube pointed up and forward looks like air tube to cat. Other tube ?
Pic 3 - looks like air tube to air tube that run to cat.
Pic 4 - looks like crossover air tube from left to right banks.
Pic 5 - looks like vacuum hose that hooks up to underside of TB, goes to drivers side to
vacuum hose to charcoal cannister control valvc.
Pic 6 - No idea
Pic 7 - No idea
Pic 8 - Looks like filter for air diverter, goes in front of engine with Pic 4
Pic 9 - No idea
Pic 10 - Looks like filter capacitor, possibly tach filter
Pic 11 - Hot water tube for heater supply hose
Pic 12 - Same as 11
Pic 13 - Looks like water hose to bottom of TB.

Should get you in the ballpark, this is all from memory, I can check FSM tomorrow and see.

thanks !!!

6 and 7 are the PCV lines.

PCV valve goes in LH rocker cover grommett ( front ) with hose to fitting on intake in behind # 5 injector.
Solid line goes RH side from tube on throttle body to gromment in RH rocker cover ; rear

All the AIR system can be deleted to cleanup the engine bay.Remove everything and just cap off the two fittings on the exh manifolds

11 / 12 is the coolant air bleed from rear of intake.Can just block off

Tach filter goes on top bellhousing bolt LH side , by oil switch; one wire to plug on loom , other to dist if I remember right

You are going to take pics NEXT time aren"t you

Calderone

Rod how are you !!!!! thanks ...
Yes,i didnt take any pic
that was a big mistake.-
AIR....what's the effect of blocking it ?
i really want to do it
thanks

Dumping all the A.I.R. parts will cause no problems, but will clean up a lot of the crap on the front of motor.

jsup

They look just fine on the floor, leave them there.

Calderone

Hehehe

rodj

Forgot ;
there is a 3rd S/S air line running from AIR system front of engine,
under the car to the cat convertor.Remove also and seal at cat.

Calderone

Where is the cat connection ?
Thanks

ps : can someone post a pic of what tubes to remove / block
there are little hoses that goes everywhere under the plenum too,i dont now if this are from AIR or something....

rodj

The AIR system are all the big pipes from the air pump.
Remove everything , tuck the spare wires back into the loom somewhere.
Cap off where the hose go to the air pipes on exh manifolds. Fitting shown in pic 2.

The smaller lines under the intake supply to the EGR solenoid then to the EGR valve.
If you don't want EGR to work ,only need vac line to fuel reg and line that goes into cable loom behind dist that operate the A/c functions.

Calderone

what's the effect of a non working EGR?
Thanks Rod!

rodj

It upsets some people on this forum

Can some of you post some FSM Scan?
my fsm its on its way..and the 86 fsm seems different

Bad Karma

Haha, it does indeed.


I have the EGR blocked and the air lines removed/blocked off, with no issues. The connection to the cat is a tube coming out the side of the cat. remove all the hard lines and block off the hose leading into the cat. Plumbing caps work for the exhaust manifolds.

Calderone

i love your car BK !
Do you have any pics of the blocked lines ?
i wonder why GM used AIR and all of those lines !

Demonic85

The connection for the cat runs underneath of the car along the passenger side and thats the line you see in front of the passenger side header. Its secured to the fender well down low by the exhaust. Its kinda hard to reach.

IMO the engine looks a lot better without all the AIR hookups, especially with headers on it now

Calderone

i was close to buy headers ....
maybe i will do it in the future

EGR is to keep your car out of detonation and gives better gas mileage.On a scale of 1 to 10 you can only hear 1.Your knock sensor should help with detonation but will retard your timing.
