    need to know if the clutch system will work properly without the vacuume lines going from the clutch booster to the vacuum tanks and the inlet manifold?:confused::confused:

    any info would be great guys as i am about to start putting all my bits and pieces (engine, manual conversion, etc etc) and i am trying to work out what i still need to procure.

    leave it off... gives you a tougher pedal.. none of that shitty festiva clutch feel lol
    i see it as just more hoses to break :p
