I'm not sure, no emmissions testing here in South Dakota. However, I'm almost positive that the lines I removed made no difference in emmissions. You'd be surprised how many vacuum lines are related to the charcoal canister. After 20 years, I'm guessing the cannister does nothing but harm, mine was full of rusty mucky crap and the carbon was far from being active anymore. In short, every vacuum line on my '83 8v was either for reintroducing crap to be reburned, or for some sort of idle compensation, which since I have no A/C I can do without. Even when I reinstall my A/C, I think I can do without and if not I have some ideas on simpler ways of idle compensation. Now I'm addicted to removing things!!
