IACV Cleaning & Coolant Hoses.

[theronin]

Seems i'm about to tackle pullin the iacv from the old girl. any tips/tricks anyone care to share?

also, seems like it would be easier without those 2 coolant hoses under the intake mani. can i just permanently delete those hoses and cap that off under there? i havent had a heater/ac in my car for 3 years.

thanks for the help.
