Many detailed questions regarding manifolds
1988 GXL N/a 5spd
I've got all the manifolds off my car and it's essentially down to a bare block.
So far i've removed EGR, Cold start, BACV, and Air pump/ACV. I'm also changing my tranny and engine mounts, TB mod, and putting RB headers/presilencer/apexi N1 single on....
Some questions:
1.Is there any easy way to get those old gaskets off the manifolds?
2.What are the absolute necessary Vacuum tubes?
Some of the walkthroughs are not detailed enough...
3.In the TB mod, can you remove that start assist bottle/ charcoal canister on the rear left of the engine bay?
4.What exactly is in that bottle looks like blue/green liquid... does it ever have to be filled?
5. What o.d. hose is needed to replace the small/medium sized vacuum hoses?

the bottle in the back passenger side next to the charcoal canister is related to the cold start system....so if you got rid of that system, then get rid of that as well..
its coolant if im not mistaken
i ran for several months without the charcoal canister, i dont think it has any ill effects....
as far as hose size....search my name ......i had that same question last winter, and someone responded with the exact diam. and how many feet i would need as well
