I have a 1987 Rx7 GX. with a rebuilt engine.. it WAS running but the previous owner replaced intake gaskets removing some hoses and forgot where to put them.. i bought it and now i cannot figure out where to put them back.

ALSO the air pump has been removed along with the emissions system. THIS CAR IS NOT TURBO and it HAS MANUAL transmission

HELP
please and thanks

i have a turbo now so ill try to help as much as possible.....pic 2 runs to the air pump. the best way to eliminate this is to but an open filter and adapter to get rid of the air box, ebay has them VERY cheap.
pic 4 that lines runs from the charcoal canister and will not harm the car if left open.

this link tells you every vac line that needs to be capped off if all the emissions are removed.

for pic 2 i dont think an open filter would help make it run? or would it

pic.....rx1:
Shows an ACV block off plate (just so you know). The arrow points to the line that feeds the 6PI actuators, which you're missing. You're also missing the split air pipe which comes from the main cat. In essence, this'll cause you to have lower high end power. The split air pipe is usually fed by the air pump via the ACV, but is also used to send back pressure to the actuators to move them and open the auxiliary valves. All of this won't prevent the car from running though. You do still want to make sure the nipple at the back of the lower intake manifold (maybe 1/2" or 5/8" dia) is plugged. Another thing you've lost is the anti-afterburn valve built into the ACV, which just means you may have a little more backfiring when the throttle is shut (even with the dashpot in the throttle body in place).

pic. rx2:
That nipple I'm sure you know feeds the air pump, but more specifically, allows it to suck in filtered air. Cap that nipple off since it will suck dirty air and bypass the filter. The car should still run though.

pic. rx3:
Good thing the car doesn't run. That is the rod coming from the metering oil pump (OMP) to feed oil for the oil injectors according to throttle opening. Wide open throttle = more oil injected. The rod should be attached to the throttle body near the TPS sensor. It goes through a cylinder with a hole attached to the throttle arm, and is held on with a tiny cotter pin. If it was left off and it wasn't a mistake (but you said a lot of things weren't connected because the previous owner didn't know better), it could have been disconnected if the owner ran pre-mix, but I doubt it.

not too worried about that nipple, but block it off anyway to prevent contamination. I'm more worried that the hose that goes to the purge valve, oil filler neck, dynamic chamber, and throttle body to the nipple hasn't been plugged and is causing a large vacuum leak. Make sure there are no open nipples at the throttle body or intake manifold

pic.rx5:
The BAC valve is not plugged (you can see where it goes near that small hose clamp that is out of place. You're missing the ACV which should be mounted on those two threaded holes below and to the right of the BAC. That cap isn't doing its job and you may have a vacuum leak there. that nipple would have a hose to the ACV and then another hose on the ACV to one of the top pipes on the Dynamic chamber. If memory serves me right, this pipe leads to a hose to the snorkel between the AFM and Throttle body and goes underneath.

Having seen these pics., who knows what else is not connected. There are nipples behind the TB, under the intake plenum, and lower manifold, that are more hidden, so who knows...

Hopefully a rotorhead can come over and give you a hand. See the FSM in my sig. and start downloading if you don't have it yet. Also make sure to get the Training manual for more background info.
