The ACV isn't connected to the engine in any way is it? (aka cause a vacuum leak or exhaust leak).
I'm pulling off the unnecessary crap and I'm wondering what *really* is the need to block that sucker off.. as far as I've ever seen it's just connected to the air pump.

I got some sheet steel for replacing body panels, it's about 12" x 10" and only flexes when I push fairly hard on the center along the 12" part.. should be ok I hope.

You're kidding right? Do you also empty your pockets of change before going for a spin?
