Alright, on the LIM, I have two places for a vacuum hose and i can't figure out which hose goes where. First place is on the drivers side, in other words, underneath the UIM. It's right in the middle pointing up. The other one is on the passengers side of the LIM at the bottom, two pipes run into one, and a hose goes on it. Which hoses are which?

there are three hoses that come out of the front of your dynamic chamber...one larger, and two smaller



I think one of those smaller ones leads to the vacuum nipple under the UIM that you speak of...the larger one leads to the oil metering lines (splits to 4), and the other smaller hose is short, and goes straight down to a metal vacuum hose



and I think the other goes to the split air pipe, leading from the main cat



my memory isn't the best, so someone else better speak up...

if so, that's the one that leads to the split air pipe, that comes off of the main cat

One more thing while we're at it. If i remove the AC&CV, what do I do about the big hose running to it, and the wires connected to it?

Sorry the picture's so big. I'm in a hurry. Alright, above the intakes on the manifold, between all the hoses right in the middle, you'll notice one more little spot for a vacuum hose. Any ideas on that one?

Well, I see the picture up there, but there's a hose that runs to the valve, which if you remove the valve, there's nowhere for the hose to run. That's not near as urgent though.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is one of the three that lead to the front of the throttle body or dynamic

chamber, somewhere in that area. Let me see if I can find a better explanation...
