ACV valve removal

i am in the process of removing the ACV and i have a question about the vac line that goes from the pressure sensor and the line that comes off of the BOV..... the line that was coming from the pressure sensor was plugged into the ACV..... is that the correct place that it should have gone in the first place?.....and the line that was coming off the BOV went into a little nipple above and to the left of the ACV on the UIM... where are these lines supposed to go now??

Drill a hole and install a nipple on the blockoff plate that is replacing the ACV. Drill the hole and locate the nipple exactly where the nipple on the ACV was located (common sense, I know).

You can also tee it into the BOV line, but this way is better.

I drilled and tapped a hole in the plate, screwed it in and ground off the excess threads poking out the back.

Here's a really fine looking blockoff plate for a turbo engine. Notice the three nipples. Superior product if I do say so myself. humor

Any BOP sold should have the three nipples or you should get a discount for their inferior product. If you bought one without nipples.........file a class action suit. Seems to work for every thing else.
