oil breather on the front of the valve cover will get plummed with the kit into the new air filter assembly. all other vacuum lines will get plugged including the egr modulator, stove pipe and MC valve on the air cleaner assembly as well as one of the distributor vacuum lines closest to the motor. The other distributor line will get rerouted to the port on the new carb. I can;t remember but I think the vacuum line from the brake booster will have to get rerouted to the intake manifold. The pcv will get replumed into where the old EGR tube would go. The electrical connector for the carb will have to get spliced and the wire for the choke will have to get a wire connector on it to put onto the new choke on the new carb, as well as the wire for the idle shutoff solenoid which you have to buy separately as the old aisin one will not work with the weber.

should take a few hours as long as you have everything. and then take a little while to tune it. the kit should have directions with it. I got my kit from webercarbsdirect.com.

the fuel return line off the fuel pump will get disconnected and plugged as well. You might also want to pick up that holley pressure regulator as well and a small gauge to attache to it to regulate your fuel pressure down to the recommended 3.5-4psi.

Hardest part of the install is the tuning. you have to follow the tuning procedure to the letter.
