Vaccum Question

Research and find pics of what you wish to delete. I don't recommend deleting that kind of stuff, but knowing what one is removing helps.

It sounds like you're talkin about EGR vac lines, not A.I.R. pump plumbing.

Good luck.

From your description, it sounds like you have no idea of how the Thermactor Air System (smog pump) & EGR work. They are two different and separate sytems. I recommend that you learn the difference before you go removing stuff. Remove or disable the wrong thing and the computer goes into limp mode, reducing the engine performance.

Here's a book that will get you started with how the Ford electronic engine control or "computer" works.
