Step 1: Remove cold start resevoir by pulling it out and unplugging harness

Step 2: Remove hose from intake manifold

Step 3: Place vacuum cap over nipple in intake manifold that hose previously went to.

Step 4: You're done. If you no longer have your cruise control (or never had it) you can also unbolt and remove the bracket.

What is to say you can't make an alumunum blockoff for it? I did, haven't ran the car yet though.

That stupid valve should be blocked off with a plate.
boosted1205 found out it can leak and induce a vacuum leak.

I used a blockoff plate as well, but it doesn't sound like the original poster is interested in that. Otherwise, he would have just made the plate and not asked. Frankly, instead of pissing around with blockoff plates, just have the two little holes welded up.
