Default vented opti vacume lines ?

Is there any parts other than the vac lines that I need for converting to the vented opti ? This is in regards to the vacume system only.

Yes,
You need a manifold vacuum fitting under the T.B. if not there on the 92 and a fitting for the intake duct supply side as well as a small intake duct with the supply hole in it unless you decide to put a hole in your current duct. I have a decent used spare 94 duct with the existing supply port if interested. It does have a little rubber cement on one of the rib edges though to fix a small split but still works fine.

Are you installing a vented opti or are you converting a non-vented unit?

Yeah, if you're getting a later vented one the connector is different. The later connector is longer.
