Idle air control housing

Is there a housing that looks better than stock. I see accel makes one but I cant find a photo of it Part # 74769. Maybe something without the coolant flow section. Im thinking of modding mine completly as one of the outlets is interfereing with some custom fuel lines Im trying to run.

I just cut the stock water tubes back...If you cut them at an angle it actually looks pretty good, and eliminates the clutter of things sticking out you don't need...

Very nice thanks. Out of all these ports on the throttle body which ones are actually necessary?

Thanks alot Iroc ZZ3. You gave me a good template to go by. It came out great. I did a search and learned i dont need these other ports as well. Im going to go ahead and plug up all these other ports as Im not using egr, charcoal cannister, and have made my own simple crankcase ventilation.
