Yes, it’s very loud aswell. Sounds like it’s coming from the lower intake areaare you hearing a whistle at idle?

Yes but not in regards to the BBK throttle body. Too many have experienced the dreaded BBK whistle.Whistles are vacuum leaks.
Regarding the throttle body and EGR spacer, sometimes it’s just the gasket or the mounting bolts aren’t tight enough.
Some of the old TB’s used to leak by the shaft seals. A smoke test would show that.
I actually found it. Pulled the lower intake and the gaskets were torn uppppp. Weird because they were new but I imagine I didn’t have them seated right. Replaced the gaskets, vacuum leak is gone, but the main issue I’ve talked about is still present. One thing at a time! It’s raining today, otherwise I’d check fuel pressureIt's the BBK throttle body, I had the top end off mine two or three times trying to figure it out. I live with it.
My fuel regulator line goes to the little splitter thing by the passenger side firewall where all the EGR related stuff is. I have a line coming off the intake that goes to that thing that seems to be sucking in air? Couldn’t really tell if it was blowing it out or pulling it in.Where does the line attach to the intake?
can take a video/picture of the setup if needed. It is pretty redneck I will say.My fuel regulator line goes to the little splitter thing by the passenger side firewall where all the EGR related stuff is.

It’s a gt40 intake so I don’t have the tree. I’m convinced I didn’t do the vacuum routing correctly ever since I swapped over. For reference it is an EGR intake so I do still have EGR.I have a very vivid imagination, and I've seen 'redneck' too but a pic may clear things up a bit, the vacuum for the regulator should come off the vacuum tree sticking out the back of the upper intake.
Okay, how should I route all of this? And honestly I don't have a clue where those solenoids are lol, do I need to run some vacuum to them?That connection you call a splitter is for the TAB/TAD solenoids, can't use them for anything else, find a lone vac sorse for the regulator.
Or can I just rip all that crap out lol.. its all emissions isnt it?Okay, how should I route all of this? And honestly I don't have a clue where those solenoids are lol, do I need to run some vacuum to them?
Okay, all I’ve removed is the air pump. Any thing else that needs to be removed? I know it goes into the fender into a ball or somethingThere is a vacuum diagram around here someplace
Here, this may help....
If the air pump and related stuff has been removed I think you can get rid of those vacuum lines.
I 100% removed the air pump and plugged the heads.Did you remove the thermactor pipe that attached to the ports on the back of the heads and connected to the air pump via the rubber lines and a vacuum actuated valve?
