Blanking plates - what goes where?

Once I can get my FC to stay started and not die on its ***, I'm gonna try to simplify it as much as possible. One of the things to go first is the emissions stuff, and so I bought an Ebay set of blanking plates. But I am not too knowledgeable on these things and don't really know what goes where. Wondered if someone can help me out here. These are the plates I've got:

pretty straight forward stuff man,
just look at the lower manifold and the emisssions Parts that are attached to it.The block off plates are the shape of that particular emissions device.
4 is EGR block off
6 is BAC.and so on.
Remember to use some sort of sealant or gasket material.If not you will have Vacuum leaks and the car won't run right.
see if there is an Emission block off plate installation thread (use search) it should bring up lots of info.

1. BAC. Don't use this, leave the BAC in place.
2. Sub zero start assist squirter.
3. Don't know. Maybe the TII aux air solenoid.
4. EGR.
5. ACV
6. Split air pipe I think.

It lets your car maintain a constant idle speed.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I won't need some of these as I've got a JDM car. Typical!

If you're going to install block off plates I would suggest removing the studs, especially the longer ones, and replacing them with bolts. Gives it a much cleaner look, not to mention that some of the studs aren't threaded all the way.

Say hi to gate 2 street for me.

I will, although I try to stay as far away from Gate 2 Street as I can! One of the relatively few non-SOFA foreigners here in Okinawa
