Throttle body Removal

So this week I need to replace my vacum lines to get my 86 N/A to start up. But before i do, i just wanted to make sure that there was nothing special needed to be done. It looks like a simple removal process... take off the hoses and brackets and wires ect ect, replace the lines, new gasket then back together. Is there anything special im gonna need to know to do this?

I would say just be organized. Label stuff, so that when you put it all back together, you know where everything goes.

If all you're removing is the TB, then there isn't even a gasket that needs to be replaced.
And yes, label everything and have pleny of towels for the spilled coolant.

Quick question I've reinstalled my UIM and I notice that there's two numbs for the vacum tubes that doesn't seem to be getting used. One one the middle portion facing the same direction as the butterfly valves. and one on the front (facing the front bumper). am I correct an assuming that these two numbs are not in use on a N/A?

^ if there is no hose it needs to be capped off. you can cap off all of the UIM vac lines except the ones going to the dynamic chamber. they are used for cruis control, accellerated warm up etc...

All i have to say is dont bump the TPS and rear cams out of allignment or you may have idle problems.the vacuum lines dont really matter that much. it will still run if they are mismatched so dont worry. just take a picture of them before you remove them just to be sure.
