HELP-air box connection?
I just bought a 98 vert with no front bumper, air pump or air box. I already bought an air box BUT what connects to the 90* nipple that sticks out of the air box. also what hose or hoses connect to the air pump? There is one S like hose coming from the exhaust manifolds on the car, does that go to the air pump? HELP

There is a valve attached to a metal pipe off the driver's side
exhaust manifold, with a rubber hose coming off of it. That
joins to another hose that goes around the back of the motor
to another valve, then on to the passenger side exhaust
manifold. The rubber hose that joins those two goes to the
air pump.
Depending on what year air box you got, the hole for the
hose with the 90-degree fitting on it may be on the side,
on top, or there may be no hole at all. If you got the '99
box, it should be on the side of the driver's side of the box.
There should be a rubber grommet that holds that 90-degree
fitting in that hole.
Hope that helps!
