Default BIG SUCKER QUESTION...

When replacing the stock A/C, what do you do with the two breather tubes? I don't see any place they can connect to.

Are you putting the stock breather back on or trying to install a Big Sucker?If you're installing the B/S,you do away with the hoses.

Replaced by the banjo bolts (breather holes drilled internally) on the BS

They are in my box of stock hd stuff on my bench with the stock a/c. I suppose you could find something more creative to do with them though.

that is why the BS is better than the stock or SE. the breather system doesn't draw oil into the filter, possibly causing misting. it uses the banjo bolts and dumps deep into the throttle body (much like is done on autos). I have both, SE and AN, the have never had a misting issue with the AN.
