Default A.I.R. crap...

Anyone know where I could get the AIR tube that goes from left to right side for an 87?? This thing is like impossible to find. GM discontinued the the tube and none of the local junkyards have any...Any help would definately be appreciated.

Yeah, I didn't know if this would cause an exhaust leak or anything...those check valves just do their thing and don't let any exhaust out?? So we can just take everything off, right?? That's pretty cool!

If you don't have emission checks, then remove it. Keep it for later if you need it back on- you know how hard these parts are to find. Those black check valves shouldn't let exhasut out because they are one way, but many tend to flutter a little. Get som 1/2 national pipe thread (npt) caps to replace those check valves.
