with the sidedraft, tap the omp lines in the intake manifold.

I'd just take the omp off and put a blockoff plate there and run premix. I don't think it's worth it to tap the manifold for the omp lines.

I run a Weber 45 sidedraft and premix. I removed the OMP and fashioned a blockoff plate.

Works great.

it doesnt smoke that bad, but yes leave the oil in the pan, that oil is for rotorbearings, secondary gears etc.....

The omp injects iol into the combustion chamber, which lubricates the apex seals. And by switching to a weber and blocking off eth omp you premix, that replaces having to have the omp since there will already be oil in the gas. It shouldnt smoke that much since you are replacing oil and not adding more. If you have any questions just pm me.

BTW (location of the omp) if you are standing in front of your car looking at the engine you will see whiteish/brownish lines running from the BOTTOM LEFT of your block, follow those to the bottom of the block and you will find the omp. You will also find out where they inject oil into if you follow them the other direction, they will go into the block.
