It mainly depends on what year your car is... Example. If you have an 89+ you will have to retain the original airpump and ACV (air control valve)
ON 86-88 1/2 cars it can be removed once you have taken off your air pump and removed your catalytic converters.

*-* look at photo, this is what an N/A engine should look like Plus or Minus a couple items IE: I still need to remove vacume spider and BAC valve, as well as get a good set of headers and complete the TB mod. Simplicity is key *-*

I'm sorry to correct you bruce, but the Air control Valve is NOT located near the BAC valve. The BAC is connected to the Intake plenum ... the air control valve is bolted to the Lower Intake manifold.. It rests alittle above your 5th and 6th port acctuator plungers... you really can't miss it. Look near your exhaust manifold. See those two plungers sitting at an angle? Look right in the middle of that. that is your ACV.
