well so far ive read ALL about the vacuum and EGR system, and a bunch of other stuff on the emission system, in my shop manual... learned alot, and i used the diagram and labeled with stiky tabs, EVERY hose and what not, half of which i wont be able to use, but i will get back to that later. i pulled all my plug wires and labeld which cylinder theyre to , but havent taken of the cap.

I also disconnected all the carb linkage, and the throttle cable bracket, i took off and painted silver to match the intake manifold. i have it hooked onto the new manifold already now, and it doesnt look bad, certainly better than its previous black/rust colors lol. and i labeled and put the pin holding the transmission kickdown lever, to the carb linkage, in a baggy, so i for sure wont lose it.

One of my "Normally Open Selinoid Valves" that was on the drivers side valve cover, i took off after removing the vacuum lines, labeld the sticky again and put it in a plastic baggy...

and thats about it till tomorrow.... when i get home from school im going to remove the fuel line to the carb, and the "Crankcase Vent hose" from the carb, and then remove the carb. I wont be able to do the rest till thursday cause i have work tomorrow night , but i will hopefully get all the rest done by thursday night.

Oh and about the vacuum lines, do i now just hook a single vacuum line straight to the port on the bottom of the holley carb? thats where the previous owner told me to hook the advance can to. if not, whats an alternate route system to put thevacuum lines in now that the EGR system will be eliminated? Thanks.A
