Engine swap in progress question>>HELP>>??
Yeah, so im jankin out the 350 and i need to know if any of the passenger side harness wires are needed or can i just junk all of it.
next, all teh emissions is gone but there is a water coolant hose on the right side of the motor on a t neck that went into the emissions or sumthng, taht little black box in the top of the right valve cover, ima just reroute it to the heater box.
what do you do with that line from the cannister on the left side of the car, the line that goes back to the tank, jus plug it up would do good i presume.
thanx fo rda help i need it

If you have any kind of emissions testing/inspection, what you're doing isn't wise.
If you are committed to yanking out all of the emissions equipment, the passenger side harness isn't going to be needed. It can be separated & removed without cutting anything.
The charcoal canister provides the venting for the gas tank. It's not a good idea to remove the canister and plug the line.

Pay attention now...you can vent the fuel tank to the outside but I don't advise it. If all the lines are in place, you should use the system as it feeds excess fumes to the engine (a good thing). With a little attention and thought you can work this out. Learn how the system operates and go from there, don't just yank everything. If you should happen to plug the wrong line, you could concave your tank (not a fun item). Your fuel system needs a feed and return line to operate properly, in the past they used a vented cap to allow air in so that the tank wouldn't implode. You need to work with the system instead of against it.
Also, please proof read your posts as it is difficult to read when there are so many gramatical errors involved.

Yeah, i know about the feed and return line, those are no problem, and i have a vented cap on the gas tank already, so i just wanna know what to do with this vent line now.
But i heard that i needed a wire or two from the comp harness, but i donno, but we shall see what happens when i fire it up.
