Nice idea, but it's a red flag for the smog guys here. The capped off ports at the TB and valve cover would get them looking around. Not having all the original hoses routed per the requirements is an automatic fail.

good god, thats why I love FL. no smog test period. the state used to have smog testing but they provided data that car emissions were the same whether or not they had emission testing so they just decided to stop all together.

I ran away from California 20 years ago. Very nice place to live but the government rules and regulations for just plain living too much for me. So far Washington has not clamped down on emmisions (they will some day) seems its always something. We are getting tired of the rain and I am thinking of going to Fla. I sometimes fly to the cape for business and love Cocoa Beach! Oh well its always something! Maybe we should start a new thread! Best place to live for a Corvette owner! Guess I will!
