my 90 lx has the magically disappearing smog control feature. after the smog control crap magically disappeared. i noticed there is a tube that runs between both cylinder heads behind the engine block. it is attached to both cylinder heads at the back. i have wanted to remove it for a while, but i am not certain if it is a vital engine componenet or not. i doubt it is since it no longer goes to anything and has no sensors, etc attached to it. if i remove this, can i just plug the bolt holes? has anyone here done this? if so, to what results?

strictly for the record, Kind Kong's fascination with Ann was all about the nipples.

Yup, my new track heat heads don't have the holes, but I had it removed before that anyway.
