Default Midnight and looking for answer's

Ok where to start..... I had a bad water pump on my 85 stock vette...... I got it removed.. in the process I notice that the check valve that is located on the converter air pipe is bad (rusted into 2 parts)... Also the air injection pipe that's wrap in front of the motor and ties into the exhaust manifold is bad--the same as the converter pipe is rusted apart..... My million doller question is WHERE can I find the pipe and tubing already pre-bent.... I am not 100% that this is the proper name for this........... Thanks a million


PS---it is midnight and I have had enough for one day.......

I have check around and the proper name is the A.I.R Pipe--- everyone I have talk to have said that it has been discontinue... any idea's where I can locate one..... Thanks again..$300vett...

I would be like everyone else and just delete the lot while you have it apart unless you are doing a factory restoration

Is there a procedure for this anywhere? I have mine down to the manifold right now and want to do all the free mods I can while I'm into it.

Remove EVERTHING connected to the air pump.Just follow plumbing from pump
Cap the one way valves on the exh manifolds.
Tape up the plugs going to the divertor valves and hide in engine wiring loom.
Vac line to seal off.
Cap or remove the s/s line to the cat.
Tidier and easier to work on the front of engine
