What do all the 3 letter names stand for? What do they do? Where are they located? Do I need them?

I am currently installing a hybrid turbo and Haltech E6K on my 88 AE. What of the afore-mentioned things do I need, and what do they do? I want my engine bay to look as clean as possible, so anything that is not necessary is going. I have already removed the A/C, p/s, air pump, and all the vacuum lines that run under the intake manifold. What else needs to go?

thanks,
Kris

Air Control Valve distributes air to catylitic or engine according to emmisions needs
Exhaust Gas Recirculation routes exhaust into engine as emmisions laws dictate
Bypass Air Control opens an airpath to vary idle and keep it constant when accesories load the engine

Thank you for that great page Ted, but am I ok to remove these? I have a general understanding of what they do, but I do not know how the engine is going to respond without them.

thanks again,
Kris

If you don't need any emissions, the ACV and EGR valve can go.&nbsp Use block-off plates to covers the holes back up.

The BAC valve is used for idle control, and I would recommend to keep it for the time being...
