Those of you without stock Airboxes...

Up here eh?
I'm wanting to put a cone filter and cold air tube on my '88.
What am I to do with the vaccum lines going into the stock airbox, and intake hose? Do I remove them... plug them...forget the idea?
I mean, I know you can get cold air kits, but since this one isn't made for the Jeep, is there something I can do with the lines?

I dont want to buy one... I already have a better tube that will flow a lot better than that. Just want to know if I can remove the lines, or what to do with them

if your tube doesn't have the vac line holes, it isnt better

Well, It's more expensive, larger diameter, better flowing, and its polished aluminum :)
I understand what you're getting at.. but I'm just wondering what people do with the Vac lines when say, they use there stock intake hose, and just add a K&N cone filter... specifiaclly the lines that go into the air box.

Mine has vent lines, not vacuum lines, and I just piped them into the intake tube...

Thats what I was thinking of doing, but does the positioning matter? (closer to the filter, as opposed to closer to the TB?)
 
I cut mine so that it was located at approximately the same distance as before. That way, I only needed to buy a Vent nipple and didn't need to mess with the stock tubing...
 
My 98 had a vent tube going to the valve cover. I just bought a pushin type filter from Advanced Auto and put it in the valve cover and used straight 3" muffler pipe (nappa) and a K&N universal clamp on filter. I riged a metal strap type bracket like on the rusty unit to stop it from flopping around.
Reminds me of a joke: How do you say brazzier (Bra) in German?

x2 put that on the front ov the valve cover and a tube from the hole in the rear of the valve cover to an empty port on the intake manifold. Works great
 
Hmm.... after all this reading I think I might have misplaced one of my hoses. It looks I should have had 2 comin off the air box and I only have one... Hmm...

That's pretty much what I did, except mine is flat black with an exposed filter element. I got it in the "honduh performance accessories" section at Pep Boys. The rubber end fit right over the plastic elbow in the valve cover, and I hose clamped it there. Done.
