Im in the middle of puting a second battery in my 91. I took the fan out and the silencer out. Trying to figure out how to adapt the fan to suck cool air out of the hole between the washer bottle and the firewall. I cut the bracket that holds the smog pump valve right at the factory weld.that left the air injection, EGR, and pressure regulator valves on what's left of the OEM bracket mounted to the original location.

I got a battery box from like a 96 stuffed in there right now. I only had to trim a bit from where it meets the radiator and a little where the washer bottle mounts to the inner fender. I started to take the washer bottle out but soon discovered it protrudes into the inner fender to a soft washer fluid bladder. It will need to be unbolted and slid a little out of the way to get the box in and put it back in position before bolting the box in tight.

I extended the hoses leading to the smog pump with a piece of 3/4" Inside Diameter copper tubing. Was going to build a bracket to hold it to the inner fender with 3 unused captive nuts but I'm now thiking about bolting it to the front part of the intake. There are 2 bolts there. 1 is used to hold a metal strap that holds a cble in place. The other bolt just seams to be stuck in there for no reason. A sturdy piece of flat steel ~1/8 or 1/4" thick with 4 holes drilled would work. Then a 90* section of the OEM hose will hook ritght up to the tube going to the engine and a piece of flex hose going to the pump. Th eproblem I ran into is the smog pump hose is not a common size. Looks like 7/8 ID. I can only locate 3/4 and 1" locally. Might be able to get some pieces from a junk yard and cut/splice the bends together to make it match up.



I'll get pictures tomarrow. I only have a camera phone and it's dark out.
