American Car Craft Camaro Fuel Rail Covers Perforated "SS Style Illuminated 2010-2013" - Manual (Page 3)

2. Now that the engine is uncovered take a minute to look over the engine to identify the areas we will
rearrange. You will notice the two heater hoses strung over the engine as well as hard plastic vacuum
lines and top mounted wire harnesses. You will also notice the factory fuel line strung across the
engine leaping over to a wheel well bracket. In the next several steps we will reposition these things
into a more appealing arrangement.
3. The first thing you will need to do will be to temporarily remove the factory air tube, releasing the two
attached clamps, and vacuum line protruding from the left side of the tube. This vacuum tube is a quick
release and need only be examined to see how to release it.
4. Next remove the four 10mm bolts securing the aluminum throttle body and remove it for now. At this
time you may want to think about polishing the throttle body while it is detached from the engine. This
is a relatively easy thing to do and will look great with your new accessories.
5. The next thing we will do is to remove the factory heater hoses and save them. You will notice that the
two heater hoses contain a quick disconnect joint at the front side of the motor. Remove the steel clip
at the center of the two connectors. Place a drain bucket at this area to catch the antifreeze. Clamp the
hose as to not allow the fluid to escape when you are ready to separate the hose. You can do this easily
by clamping a couple of vise grips on either side of the connector. When you are ready simply pull the
connecter apart. A limited amount of fluid will escape into your bucket. Tip the end of the connector
into the bucket and release the fluid by unclamping the vise grip. Release the fluid from both ends of
the hose until the fluid is completely drained. Perform this same procedure for the other hose as well.
With the fluid drained completely remove the factory heater hoses from the car and save. Remove the
four spring clams from the hoses as you will be using them on the new replacement hoses.
6. Now that the factory hoses have been removed we can now route the new hoses. Starting with the 5/8
hose route the end of the hose behind the passenger side heat shield attached to the wheel well.
Route the hose up to the fire wall so that you are nice and tight to the brake lines located there and up
to the 5/8 pipe connection. Slide the factory hose clamp onto the end and then attach it to the pipe. Be
sure to arrange the hose so that there are no kinks and/or bad twists in the hose. Then simply cut the
hose at the other end so that it will line up nicely to the water pump location at the engine and clamp
it there as well. Perform the same exact procedure with the 3/4‘’ hose. Secure the two hoses at the fire
wall where they cross the brake lines with a good zip tie to finish this part of the engine tuck.
7. The next step in our procedure will be to reroute the two black plastic vacuum lines running over the
top of the throttle body area. To do this detach each of the quick connect tubes and save. Replace the
tubes with your 3/8” vacuum line only rout the tubes under the throttle body opening. You will see
that there is plenty of room to do this and the new rubber vacuum hose will slip perfectly over the
quick connector tube on the motor providing a perfectly alternate routing. Change each of the two
tubes separately to make sure you don’t cross the connections. Route the long vacuum tube under the
driver side coil pack bracket completely concealing this tube until it comes up to the rear vacuum line
connection point.
8. Remove the last vacuum line from the valve at the front of the passenger side engine head completely
and replace this line as well routing it along the wire harness that stenches across to the wheel well
bracket. You will need a small plastic release tool for this line. This can be found at any auto parts store
costing less than a dollar.
