Gettin rid of AIR...?
Ok anybody who has taken this off, how is the crossover pipe (the one that goes under the motor?) attached and does anyone have any ideas on how to remove it? Should I get the Dremel out and cut it in sections?
Also, there are alot of hoses and crap on this thing right? I don,t wanna remove something I need.
Thanks.

I couldn't remove that tube without cutting it. And yes, I did use a dremel with a cutting wheel. Worked great and quick too.
You will also have to think of a way to plug your AIR fittings on the exhaust manifolds. (you won't need to do that if you have some headers without these fittings)
There's a bigger hose that connects to the plastic (not rubber) elbow that connects to the airbox. (or cold air intake, if you have one)
You will also have to plug that hole with something.
There's some other, smaller things that I can't recall about anymore, but if you follow them carefully, you'll know what you need removed and what stays.

There's not all that much on a 94.
Pull the harness plug off, and tape it out of the way. Make sure the fuse in the circuit is good, and you will not get an SES light or a code (93-95 only).
Pull the air supply line off the inlet ducting and cap the connection on the inlet duct with a vacuum cap.
Unbolt the connections to the exhaust manifold and plug them with M22 drain plugs, and copper gasket.
Remove the pump from the front of the engine.
Remove the metal and rubber sections of the hoses that go to each manifold. The tube under the bottom of the timing cover is easiest to remove by cutting it in half with a Dremel at the bottom.

whew, that helps. Thought I might have to do surgery but wanted to make sure before cutting.
I am putting LTs on so no manifold probs but I am gonna have to find something to plug up my FIPK.
also it seems that crossover tube is welded or somthing to a bracket by where the AIR was, is this just bolted on?
Thanks for the help.
