I have been keeping every single hose intact (except for the two heater lines that they say to cut at the firewall in the video), and being overall careful not to break or cut anything unless told to do so in a video. The only exception so far is the evap line that connects to the block mounted on the valve cover area - I forgot to unhook that and it snapped at the end with the white clip. If I recall correctly from other posts, the evap setup isn't needed on a state that doesn't require emissions on these cars (I live in SC), right?
Also, in the infinite wisdom of the previous owner, the bottom port facing the front of the solenoid boost controller has been capped off with a small hose and bolt. It seemed to run and drive just fine when I first bought the donor. What issues would that cause? From what I understand, that is some sort of vent to or from atmosphere, correct? And where would I even get a piece of foam or other appropriate filtering cap for that to correct it that fits over that fitting?
Also, another small victory: the wiring harness came out yesterday afternoon! Dash is up next to be disassembled (it's already out but in one big piece), and I am looking to get started thinning/prepping the harness this weekend.
