Okay, we have the engine and trans ready to pull - all we have to do is hook the hoist to it and lift it out.

I do have a quick question.

Does anyone know of a way to delete the 4 tubes that run into the LH of the valve cover? They appear to be for emissions, almost like 4 EGR valves. Maybe an earlier model valve cover with plugs for the intake side? Or just plug it all? Surely someone has done this.

I have the 6 cyl 250 with 3 spd.
