Vacuum Tree Delete?

[FoxMustangLvr]

I have no EGR, TAB, TAD. I want to know if I can just run my vacuum lines (hvac, FPR, BB, PCV) straight to my upper intake and not have to deal with the plastic tree?

My PCV & FPR already goes straight to the upper intake already as it is. My intake is an old style Edelbrock Performer RPM. Thanks for any help!

You can eliminate the vacuum tree if you would like.

I just did this (except no hvac) and it works fine.

yes you can eliminate the vacuum tree if you like. you just need to provide a vacuum source for each item that runs on vacuum, and that is easy enough. you can even make a vacuum tree from brass fittings, which i have done in the past.

As said, vacuum is vacuum. If you have a sufficient numner of fittings off the intake, no need for the tree. Get a reducer fitting/tee for the booster line

Agreed with the crowd on this one, get rid of that ugly plastic vacuum tree. If you find that you don't have enough room on the intake, Vibrant makes a pretty trick looking billet aluminum piece that would look worlds better than the plastic oem piece

Sweet, thanks guys!! The fewer lines I have to run inside my fender (while cleaning up the engine bay) the better and I do have just the right amount of fittings already plumbed in my upper intake. Now I just need to figure out a clean way to mount my coil. As much as I'd like to hide it inside my fender I would like it to be accessible.
