The EGR solenoid is under the passenger fender. The line for the EGR has a green trace on it and a 90* nipple fitting (if you see one in your engine bay).
Ok where does the line from the charcoal canister go... the one on top
Ive gone threw this on my car and on a friends car last week.
All of those colored lines and electrical plugs are smog related. That whole unit is bolted on with three bolts. You can REMOVE it ALL along with all the vacuum lines that connect to various emissions crap under the hood.
Vacuum lines can connect anywhere on the manifold where they fit. the vacuum tree is basically a glorified T fitting. Connect it to the manifold and everything on the tree will have vacuum.
As for the line that comes from the charcoal canister is the purge line for your evap system. the round thing with a 2 wire plug on it is the purge valve. KEEP IT. Basically what it does is vent gas vapor buildup in your gas tank. The other line just stays open at the frame rail.
Oddly enough removing all that stuff in the passenger fender wont trip a check engine light. But disconnecting the EGR will. If you don't have a chip yet like me you can keep the EGR plugged in (electrical/vacuum) and the computer will play nice even if the egr isnt bolted to the intake

I thought it stayed open i couldnt see it connecting to anything down there
Im keeping EGR however so i need the green line and the red supply line
you don't need any of those Christmas colored lines.(Red and Green) Just connect the egr vacuum directly to the manifold. the egr will still operate as normal (opening at cruising speeds) Only way i would keep all that crap in the fender is if you're keeping your smog pump.

Blue is for the solenoid..... red is still to be determined.... traced it farther in these pics.... still have no clue... goes down to smog pump area ...
that blue line does indeed connect to nothing correct???
