How To Remove A.I.R. On LT1 With Pics
I did a lot of searching for a good how-to on this and never found one with pics. I found one for LS1 with pics, but it looks like they have it easier than we do. So if something already exists, I apologize for the duplication. Hopefully someone will get some use from this.
Also, I am no expert at this. I just did it using what I had learned from other posts. If anyone sees something that could make this easier, or spots something I did wrong, don’t hesitate to post up or pm me and I will edit the posts.
Things you will need:
¼”, 3/8”, and ½” drive rachets
Sockets for 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, 19mm, and 1 inch.
Dremel tool with cutoff wheels
Wire snips
(2) either M18x1.5 or M22x1.5 oil drain plugs – Supposedly the 93-95’s take the M22 and the 96-97 take the M18. Mine is a 96 and M18 was a little too small, so be prepared.
(1) 3/16” rubber vacuum plug (I bought a vacuum plug assortment at O’Reillys
Electrical tape
Crescent wrench
Flathead screwdriver
Cell phone
Some of the instructions below will have to be modified for use with ram-air cars. Sorry, I can’t help with that, but maybe you can put the missing pieces in place.
Also, if you have a 95 or earlier, a few things might be different, such as the opti vent tube may not be there. I don’t remember if the vented optis started in 95 or 96. Mine is a 96 TA.
