Just put in a new air cleaner in place of stock intake assembly..Got A few questions
So i just put in a spectre air cleaner assembly. what should i do with the stuff that was involved in the stock intake assembly like the intake temp sensor and the plastic tube that goes from passenger side valve cover into intake, the hole in the drivers side header and also the tube that went into it looks like right below the throttle body and then connected into the black air cleaner housing. what do i do to plug this stuff up or disconnect it. do i need any of it? anything will help thanks

Just toss that hose from the manifold, the hole doesn't do anything. You can move the temp sensor to a colder spot in the engine bay, or make a hole for it in the new air cleaner.

That would be for the crankcase/PCV.
Mine is a PCV valve on the passenger side.

mmmh i thought the pcv is on the drivers side? i attached a pic and in it you can see what i think is the pcv on the drivers side valve cover and on the passenger side valve cover you can see the tube i am talking that is connected to the stock air cleaner. what is that tube for?

Tube on passenger side is crankcase breather. Put on standard breather fitting or just vent to air. Iat sensor needs to stay plugged in and can be put in not overly heated up location or with extension wires located where actual intake air temp is found. Port on throttle body that connected to valve in air cleaner that opened heat flap to be plugged at throttle body. Ignore hole in stove on exhaust manifold. And PCV is on driver side, leave it alone. Have fun!
