rats nest guestions...
ok so yesturday and last night i removed my old nikki carb, intake manifold and exhaust. we managed to get the new rb exhaust on with no problems after alot of beating the crap out of the old exhaust lol i decided to wait a few days before putting on the new oer carb because of the rats nest (not enough room) so im looking for any info you can give me about removing the rats nest what worked what didnt etc. any links that might help would be awsome to i found the mazda speed tutorial and im wondering is that the best way to do it.? thanks

The Mazda Speed Tutorial is great. It's spot-on and that's what I used (more or less). Here's the Rats Nest made SUPER EASY for you. It'll make life better for you after you get started.

The a/c solenoid raises the idle when the a/c compressor is used. Otherwise you are going to have stalling problems. Basically, it is a simple solenoid that opens up when 12v is applied. This allows vacuum from the manifold to pull a vacuum operated lever on the backside of your carb, which pulls up the throttle linkage to raise the idle.

Won't pass emmisions
Won't make more power
Idle needs to be bumped up to use AC
Cleans up engine bay
Eliminates sources of vacuum leaks.

in my case my car ran better, it dosnt smell as bad (like a lawn mower), and i dosnt backfire anymore (which makes me depressed....long story short....i got my car banned from school grounds for a short time and got my car searched at school because they thought i had fireworks or a gun.....and i used to ride around the tight city streets and get the ladies attention and here the backfire echo for minutes!!)
everybody says other wise to this but this is what my car did when i took my rats nest off

If you look on page 254 and 255 of the Haynes manual and follow the hose routing, it is just like the drawing^(mine btw), with a tee between the filler neck and bowl/air vent, also the hose from the block to the charcoal can. Although, that doesn't mean it's right.
It's also what I got from the Tutorial.

I ran a line from the charcoal cannister to the base of the carb for vacuum. Then another line from the base to the oil filler neck, to keep that under vacuum as well (eliminates the lung mustard). Haven't had any issues with it set up that way...
