Weber swap questions
Hi everyone, I'm working on a Weber 32/36 swap in my 87 Accord DX. To preface, this is by far the biggest job I've ever done and I'm learning what everything is as I go, so please bear with me. I also promise I've browsed through this forum pretty extensively.
I've removed the stock carb and the black box with the emissions hoses. Looking at everything left though, this thing is still a confusing mess.
Here is what I have now:

The black cylinder in the pic below is the vacuum reservoir, right? Should I yank this out too? Is the red line that runs to the firewall (circled in blue) important? Would I cap this off?
Attachment 11430
In this pic below, the light gray bracket (supposedly called the vacuum distribution block) has a lot of rubber lines connected to it. Are these all vacuum lines? Could this whole thing be yanked out? Would I need to cap off everything that connects to that, or only some lines?

I know that the only necessary lines (i think) that go straight to the carb are the fuel line, brake booster line, and throttle cable. And then you have to hook up the electric choke. But I'm very confused since some of these seem to also run to the intake manifold.
I feel like I'm halfway done but just completely stuck here. Beside what I've mentioned, is there anything else that I should be doing, or would I be ok to go ahead and hook up the weber?
Thank you

Re: Weber swap questions
You can literally yank every vacuum line in the car, it will not change much. You only need to plug the nipples coming off the unused vacuum tees on the manifold and one on the distributor. The only vacuum line that should be left over will go from the manifold and forks to the other nipple on the distributor, and the power valve on your carb.
Look at the vacuum delete thread for reference. https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthre...elete-pictures
If there's anything you find out you needed afterwards, it can probably be resolved by plugging it directly into the back of the manifold.
