help me simplify the vaccum lines, for a 2L type 4motor vaccum line Options

[surfaccing]

i've been going through the pelican parts diagrams and i can't understand why i have to have that large ugly air cleaner and why i have to route the fan shroud to it and blah blah blah.

again i come from the vw bug world and hell we don't have any of this junk.
now i can understand the distributor vaccum line and the throttle body vaccum line. buy what the hell is all that other stuff?
i want to take the deceleration valve out and the air cleaner off. i pretty much just want a motor that is the bare basics of what i need. i just want injectors and a pod filter ontop of the intake system... is that so hard to do?

i live in san antonio texas, no emissions for me to pass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
nor do i care to pass them anyways, plus we don't have a decibel level for our exhaust either and i want to run a stinger exhaust as well

i know u can remove half the stuff. i have good old buddies in the porsche club who did i back in the 70's-80's they just can't remember how to do it cause it was so long ago.

i was hopeing someone on here had done this already

You want to eliminate important parts of a carefully designed system because it looks cluttered? You want to put a POS "bird stopper" sock air filter in place of one that actually works extremely well? You want to take the advice of "good old buddies in the porsche club" who think they remember doing this stuff in the "70's-80's" but they can't remember what they did. You sound like someone who spends way too much time reading so called "enthusiast magazines" and cruising the internet, believing what you read because, after all, it's on the web so it must be true. There are a number of real 914 experts here. I suggest you ask them about what you want to do, and listen to their answers.
