I'm new to this so I was just wondering what this hose is for it goes into each cylinder at the heads on both sides, so if you could respond asap that would be great thanks.

 

those are AIR tubes... It's emissions stuff. If you hate the environment you can remove them and plug them.

 

wow that was quick thanks

 

No, you cannot, legally. Federal law takes precedence over state law, so even if your state doesnt do emissions testing, federal law says you cannot remove or disable any emissions devices that came on the car when new. Besides, you'll need that stuff when the current government says all states must start doing emissions testing like California.

 

While Kevin91Z is 100% correct, there's always a difference between what's legal, and what you can get away with.

 

When our cars become more desirable people will pay a mint for a good AIR system because everyone hacks em up just because they don't how they look.

 

Doesn't the AIR system not rob any horsepower, making it not worth the effort to remove?

 

Yes, it does. It takes power to turn the pump.

 

Yeah, but how much power are we talking? 2 horsepower?

 

Do some weight reduction and take out your cigarette lighter. Makes up for the horsepower loss.

 

I would just leave it I had that in my 305 Camaro till I dumped in the new 350. Just makes life harder when changing the spark plugs.

 

Can someone tell me what bolt/thread size the AIR system uses? I would like to get mine off and plugged

 

The holes on the manifolds are 1/4" pipe.

 

Any idea on the thread? I M GUESSING THAT IT WOULD BE 20?

 

Ummmmmmmmmm........ no. All 1/4" pipe threads are the same pitch, at 18 threads per inch.

 

Yeah it's not worth it to remvoe it unless it becomes a problem for whatever reason. For me I went to a carbureted setup so there was really no point.
