With the stainless coolant pipes installed, new heater hoses installed, and fuel tank refreshed and installed, I am finally turning my attention to the engine bay. ?I began by cleaning it reasonably well, then proceeded to remove the intake snorkel on the passenger side. ?I expect I can use that snorkel in some form or another on the driver’s side when I get to air intake considerations.
?
?
The snorkel is a bit difficult to get out. ?It is attached to a plastic cover on the bay side. ?There is a small rivet that needs to be drilled out. ?Then clips on top and bottom of where the snorkel attaches have to be pressed and wrangled out. ?
?
?
Then, you have to go up top to the outside vent and get the top of the snorkel off the hose. ?It is attached with a strip of what appears to be electrical tape. ?But before you pull it out you have to get it off a set of hooks inside the vent. ?I just used a screwdriver and pushed the snorkel free.
?
?
The snorkel is longer than I expected. ?The photo shows the parts laid out but you get the idea.
?
?
Now I have some additional free space that was heretofore blocked off. ?I’ll clean it out, but not sure what, if anything, I will use the space for. ?Any ideas? (This is on the passenger side).
