Very few vacuum lines are needed to operate the Jeep. There's a good bit of unneeded crap that ran the computer (which really only moved some internal carburetor stuff) Most of the time I see these items as inoperable over the years and actually hurting performance.

Basically, when asked, I help people do is to make their Jeep to be as much like a 1979, to me, this and a few close by years ('79-81) had the simplest workings and peak years for the 10 year production for these CJs ('76-'86)

How about well lit pics, left/ right/ overhead of the engine (or more!) With the hood against the windshield frame and the breather removed. Sometimes I can spot problems or even use them to show what needs to go.

At your location now, is there any emissions testing required so that this might not be a good idea?
