I have the car torn down for head gaskets. Let me give the car information to make your statements. This is going to be our sons first car and has been a dailey driver for us. It is not a show car.
What vacuum lines do I actually need to keep? This thing has like 10 miles of vacuum lines. I do not have any smog checks, visual or safety inspections in the area I live. I am also planning to remove the cats, and using some catless downtubes.
Do I really need the intercooler pipes to be secured? The upper one has 1 bolt and the lower has 2 bolts. I remember seeing people talk about removing these, but of course when I searched I could not find them. I am planning on removing the bolt locations from the pipes and removing the brackets from the motor.
I am planning to remove the brackets the from the heater core lines that attach to the exhaust manifolds. I also plan to remove the hoist location from the passenger side exhaust manifold.
My motivation for this is to make it easier to work on in the future.
