Im cleaning up my engine bay and I'm trying to get rid of what i can. The two little lines go into the firewall and the large line goes across the engine bay into a nipple on the vacuum tree marked "A/C" . Can I get rid of this line?

Are you talking about deleting ALL 3, or just the large one that goes directly to the vacuum tree?

No, it's for your heating controls. They are vacuum operated.

I'm just talking about the large one that goes to the vacuum tree. Can I just remove that line from the vacuum tree and splice it into a different vacuum line so I don't have that big line running to the other side of the engine bay?

I took it off and used 2 vaccum tree caps. You can find them in the "Help section" at Autozone.

It didnt affect anything.

Your heat still worked properly after plugging the ends?

Which one of the two lines is for the heat and which is for the A/C?

My A/C is currently stuck in the defrost position and one of the lines is missing (read been broken off). I figure it is for the a/c. Does anyone have a diagram so I can chase down how it is routed?
