Air Intake Question

[95z28]

Im about to get a new intake in replace of the stock one, and was wondering what the hose with the blue end that you push into the intake and the larger black hose that looks similar to some on the throttle body are for because all the intakes im seeing dont look like they have these spots. Let me know if you need pictures, sorry for not being more specific.

The blue one is for the opti vent. The other one is probably A.I.R related

Ditch the air pump - drill a hole in the intake elbow to put the opti vent (blue plastic end) into the intake elbow.

What are the effects of not having the air pump? also how you go about drilling the hole, do you need a gasket of some sort?

Right in the intake elbow's directions
"OPTIONAL OPTI-SPARK VENT PROVISION, DRILL 5/16 DIA. HOLE FOR SUPPLIED GROMMET."

As for the air pump, removing the air pump is no big deal but it might trip your SES light to come on. I could tune it out for you if you'd like since you have a '95.

hahah wow i guess i never took a look at that. but ya that would be awesome, when would you be free?

If you're willing to drive to Chesterfield tomorrow (23 mile rd and Gratiot) I can tune it out for you. Should only take 15 minutes to download your tune, disable the AIR settings, and then reupload. I'll be working outside on my car tomorrow so I know I'll be home.
