You can remove everything without a SES light. Its been a while now, but I dont recall any vac lines needing to be plugged. Theres a bunch of stuff that will come out. (see pic)

There is a vacuum line you need to remove the "T" on and just put a straight coupler on. It is on the driver side fender skirt above the shock tower.

So......you did not install it (bracket) since you are looking for it to take a picture?

Yeah, Jeff is right...motor is out at the moment (moment???)

It's no big deal, but like I said it was about a 30 minute job including painting. Here's some different pix. (I would have done what Pete suggested, except on my SW headers, the stock header bolt spacer interfered with the SW header tube. So this bracket attaches at one end under the front #6 port header bolt, and the other end clamps the stock hanger on the dipstick.






As you can see, a couple bends, a couple holes, and I had to grind out a divit to allow the dipstick to poke under the edge of the bracket.

The dipstick tube is rock steady and keeps the tube away from the header tubes and presents the dip stick nicely.

You could make and sell those brackets. I'll buy one!!

This is funny.....I actually had to remove most of that air induction stuff under the driverside headlight to get to those little radiator screws to remove the radiator not knowing I could just leave that stuff out

Yes yes!! I remember I used a vac plug like you would on a carbuerator!

I have a 91' Z and the SW headers have the EGR fitting on the passenger side facing forward (for those Zs I think 93 and newer that have EGR). I think since I do not have EGR on the 91' I will just braze that fitting closed. If I understand it correctly.

It will be great to get rid of a lot of that crapola for sure and I also will be running without CATS
