Vacuum Delete Clarification

[PFC_CiarlilloM]

Okay, so, I am in the process of redoing my head gasket, and like a mad man I ripped the vacuum lines off of the back of the intake manifold without really looking at everything to see where each hose went. Now, I can't really follow the OEM diagram to connect each line correctly for some reason, but to my understanding those lines are for emissions, and aren't really needed.

I guess what better time to do the vacuum delete then now? Anyways, I just wanted to clarify/verify that I can pull EVERY vacuum line, and only run the vacuum lines in this picture that I attached.

Sorry to beat on a dead horse, but just wanted to be safe than sorry.

which way would you have the check valve? so air can escape the tank but not enter?

No you want dirty air to be able to enter the tank and not let any gas fumes out so they build up in the tank, haha...Just giving you a hard time I had to

The firewall solenoids do not need caps unless you like the looks of them.

Yeah what he said^ The solenoids don't have suction or anything. And the breather port for the gas tank is coming out of the firewall beneath where the battery would sit and is connecting into the charcoal canister. I think its gray, but I remember it has a little arrow on it. You can remove the canister (the flimsy bracket that holds it on can be bent to your liking to fit a rachet down there) and just leave the breather port there. Do not cap it off haha

what if you didnt want to delete emissions im running a gm maf with a 3" intake pipe off the turbo and now i dont know what to do with the line comng off the charcoal canister that used to run to the intake.. any suggestions?

 

[ed1380]

Drill holes in the intake pipe and thread in some 1/8npt barbs

 

[RIDSM]

i was hoping i could just take that line off and leave the canister..i have ecmlink so im not worried about the code i just dont know how much it will effect tuning it or how the car runs

 

[ed1380]

well in that case, do just that, but you still need a vacuum source for the pcv system.

 

[RIDSM]

yea im kind of confused on that, i bought a catch can and i understand one line goes from the ccv to the catch can but im not sure what the other line would go to if there's a diagram i havent been able to find it, but i see pictures of people with no intake pipes running catch cans and have no clue what theyre using for a vacuum source
