You need to post vehicle info. I'm assuming '88, so S4 FC? The ACV has nothing to do with the aux. ports on an S4.

Do not remove the ACV or airpump on an S5 NA. Your aux. ports (6PI) and VDI are fed air via a nipple on the ACV near the air pump outlet.

That's a pointless "modification" people do that has no benefit and costs low-end torque. There's a reason the 6PI and VDI activate when they do.
