what can I block off on the LIM/UIM

My engine is currently stripped to the shortblock, and I'm starting to put it back togehter. I'm going single... FYI.

On the LIM near the middle there is a larger sized "nipple" sticking out of the LIM. Can I block this off?

It looks like it runs into the engine kind of...

Assuming you're talking about an FD LIM since you did not specify..

The nipple just to the rear (right in this pic) of center and points to the rear.. you can block this off and eliminate the solenoid. This was the OEM FPR solenoid line (not the reference line).

The larger line to the front (left) that points up.. This line helps to atomize the primary injectors. If you use side feed injectors then you should still us this. If you use top-feed primaries then you can block this off.


Pic for reference

I already have the BOP kit installed. I was just curious about the nipples. The one I was talking about was the one on the left of that picutre. Where does it attach to when stock?

I will be running 1300cc and 850cc side feeds.
