Brake booster/ coolant line

I have just completed the TB mod and putting the engine back together after a little fire. Haynes have not listed the vac line to the booster in their brake section

Which nipple does it run to on tb?

Also there is a nipple on the rear rotor for a coolant line. I would like to bypass all the coolant to the tb. So can i just cap that off safely?

thnx

Hum, I really do not think it matters where you tap it.

However, I believe it taps on the manifold after the TB where you have four nipples. I believe it is the bigger one. At least on my 91 TII

it should only fit on one since it's 2x bigger then the othe lines. it on the upper intake manifold below the 4 little ones in a row.

you can cap the coolant line off. just make sure you get both ends there is another one on the water pump housing where it starts from.

here is a pic of my 89 intake. the brake boost line is the black one still conected. (bottom right)
