i recently broke my throttle cable and bought a new non-cruise control cable...can anyone give me instructions on correct uninstall of old cable(s) and the reinstall of the new one? and what all am i removing from cruise control? am i removing the whole pump and all by the air box?? please post pictures if possible!
 
Remove the cable end from the throttle body and then go under the dash and unclip the cable end from the pedal.
3 bolts for the pulley box, 2 or 3 form the canister, 2 on to of the manifold, 2 on the fire wall. Remove those 9 or 10 10pm bolts. Whith those removed, everything can come out.

Install is the opposite basically. Start with bolting the cable to the fire wall, put the cable end onto the pedal. Next route the length of cable under the intake manifold for a cleaner look and loosely bolt down the cable to the manifold. Hook it up and adjust the cable just loose enough that the plate isn't being pulled open.

Grab a friend, pole, block of wood, heavy rock and press down the pedal. Look at the TB plate and make sure it opens 100%. If it doesn't adjust the cable adjustment (2 bolts on intake manifold) so it does open 100% with the pedal fully depressed.

That's all there is to it, short and simple.

Am I getting rid of the pulley system? The new cable just hooks from the throttle body to the gas pedal? And can some one show me pics of it installed so I know exactly how to route it under the intake? And how do I get the cable off the gas pedal I can't seem to figure it out...

Every current part of the throttle cable syetem comes out.

The cable is attached in with a push style fitting that is a little tough to get out. Just pry upwards on it to pop it out of the top of the pedal assembly.
 
Here are some articles that may help. The first one is an actual tutorial with pictures but it isn't real easy to follow.

Projects & Mods - Non-Cruise T-cable

I got those from an old thread.

This article would be perfect if the pictures weren't all gone.

I'm a visual person and I like pics. Has anyone found any other articles for this?
