Emissions help please!

The following is an excerpt from the 2nd Gen Faq:

J-rats Recipe for cheating emissions if its ABSOLUTELY necessary:

1. Turn variable resistor to full lean, or as lean as you can get and still run.
2. Trick ACV into pumping air to the cat all the time by removing the FORWARD UPPER vac hose, and capping it.
3. Run 87 octane
4. Run your tank down till your almost empty.
5. 2-3 bottles of alcohol in the tank. Drive VERY GINGERLY to the emissions station.
6. Once you pass go, DIRECTLY to a gas station and fill up with regular unleaded.



I am confused on the # 2 note. Which line is the "forward upper vac hose"?
Does this procedure hurt the engine in any way?

Thanks,
ROb
