What is this vacuum line for and ground strap

[Josh79]

Well i was looking around my 95 gt which i have had for a couple of months now. I noticed that there was a line coming out of the firewall on the passenger side that wasnt hooked up. Then i looked and found the other end of the line and it must be a vacuum line as i could hear it. It is pretty tiny and it runs from the passenger side inside the car through the passenger side firewall then to the drivers side at the back of the engine compartment along the firewall. I put them back together, but was wondering what it is for exactly. It is a small line. Also i put in a clutch cable yesterday and noticed that there was a ground strap that is not hooked up. It is bolted on down by where the clutch cable brackect connects (drivers side below the fuse box etc). The ground strap off the battery is hooked right infront of the battery is that how it is supposed to be? The strap is fairly short but it may have been cut off just wondering where it needs to go so i can rehook it. Thanks guys

Well i found where the strap needs to go. It goes to the stud on the driver's side engine mount. Just need to get a ring terminal big enough to fit over the stud which will have to wait till tomorrow

i think the vaccume line your talking about is for the heat vent controlls, it bacically opens up the lower vents when you click them on, if its not connected you only get air out of the defrost vents

the other is your engine ground strap, seems like you already know where it goes and what it does tho

yeah if it's a 1/8" black vacuum line, it's for the vent controls for the hvac system. definately reconnect it you want your a/c to blow out the regular vents.
