I personally just left the connectors there. One of these days I'll get around to actually removing them.

right, but they are connected to the big electrical cord/wires..can i just tape them up or even cut them?

Wankelguy

Sure you can. Cut them unequal lengths so they won't short out against one another when the insulation shrinks and exposes a bit of wire, then tape them over.

You MUST keep the vent solenoid connected!

For a breather setup, just plumb it like stock. Follow the instructions here

i just read the write up on the removal....the only thing that comes to mind is the people who bitch about awnsering questions on this topic...ive done my searching and asked questions....everyone has there own opinoin about what should be done and whats right and wrong...if i removed my nest like most people said my car would be non-running...it is right now but i know what has to be done....
im not jumping on any specific person case..i know what ive read and what ive been told...none was more helpfull than
I guess what im trying to get at is if you are not 100% sure how to do something or havent done it yourself you shouldnt be talking out your a$$ trying to help someone..thats all i gadda say for now..i have alot of parts i need to get and work that needs to be done. someone should post http://maz_tutorials.totalimmage.com/
as a sticky its been so helpfull and would cut back on the "Why dont you search for "rat nest removal" this topic was covers last week" it would save people alot of time and agervation

The tank needs to be purged of air to keep it in an over-rich condition so it doesn't blow up when the sending unit inside the tank arcs (which is normal). Scary, huh?
On my '80, I connected the tank purge line directly to the hose coming from the carbon canister in the top of the air cleaner housing. I'm still experimenting with ways to vent the crankcase. I currently have the PCV valve in the intake manifold connected directly to the oil filler tube with the other connection on the center housing left open. I don't think this is the proper way to do this, but so far it has worked okay. The tutorial mentioned is too damn big and takes too long to download with a 56K modem. I had some other problem downloading it which escapes my mind at the moment.
I'm not that good with computers, so maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. Happy New Year to all of ya'! -WG

Maybe one of these days, we'll have enough chapters to merit publication. I wouldn't mind a sticky to the page (really, honest ), however, until there's more than the rats nest up there, it would only be an uncessary sticky. Maybe soon™.
