those 2 circled things are the first plate that goes on the back of the manifold and then a red cap adn black cover is the other i didnt remove my acv but when u remove the airpump the plate should be a good size i gusse fist size which shouldnt be hard to miss unless im thinking of somthing else

Yeah, the big plate is for your ACV unit when you remove it (between the intake/exhaust manifolds).

Could this be my idle problem? I now own this guy's car, and have checked thoroughly for vacuum leaks and such. I would think that you would have to remove the ACV unit after removing the air pump, would you not? I've had to adjust the mixture so that the idle would go up and let the car run 'smoothly'. The car also has a miss, which I suppose can be attributed to a vacuum leak. I've already ordered the ACV block off plate, but am kind of weary because I'm used to nothing changing after I supposedly 'fix' a problem, only to have it remain after doing alot of work.
