how to remove vacuum Spider?
Hey guys, I'm wondering how I should go about removing the vacuum Spider. I see a lot of the hard vaccum lines are welded to the fuel line. Whats the best way to get rid of all this crap? All my emissions are gone, so I don't need it, and I'm trying to eliminate leaks.

Just a little hint: The spider for the oil injectors really can't cause a vacuum leak that will screw up your idle.
The vacuum is being pulled FROM the nipples on the oil injectors, FROM the throttle body. The place where the spider attaches to the throttle body, is a passage all the way thru the body to the front of the throttle plates. You can see the inlet. Its a quarter inch hole in FRONT of the throttle plates. Therefore it does not pull a vacuum. Its a source of fresh filtered air going TO the oil injectors thru the spider. It is a part of your idle circuit, the way I look at things. The same can be said of that one nipple located b/t the two oil injectors on the intake manifold. That one pulls filtered air from the throttle body to the FUEL injector bleeds. Its also part of the idle circuit, in my opinion.
A busted vac line on a oil injector will cause some small amount of unfiltered air to go to your rotors on the intake *stroke*. RX TRIVIA
