What kind of induction kit you got? open or enclosed?
if you've got an enclosed induction kit, then you can remove everything to do with the standard filter.
if you've got an open filter then i recomend either sellin it and buying a enclosed kit or remove everythin except the cold air feed.

open, where can i get a decent enclosed one from? are they more efficent? dont i need to keep the air pipe onto the manifold or the smaller hoses coming off it, as they look as if they maybe sensors for something?

remove all of it to begin with
then if its an open filter leabe the standard air intake pies so it feeds the filter with cold air

heres a better pick as u can see there is a pipe leading to the main intake hose from the manifold cover?? can i remove that also what do i do if i remove it all and then i got a small gap in the carborettor housing and top of the rocker cover i'm guessing for the oil? do i leave that lead in or add breathers?

dont know about the heat shield pipe but yeah you can breather filters for the pipe coming from the rocker cover.

the 1 what goes to the rocker cover you will need a breather for
the 1 what goes to manifold is nothing to worry about

I've never seen one from the heatshield like that before. Surely it cant do anything?

the hose from the carb that meets the rocker cover are just joined together nothing else joining i believe without lookin theres a big round thing as u can see in the pic.. is this a sensor its sorta in the middle of that hose

i cant tell if the hose what goes to the carb conects to the card or the plastic of the filter
the one what goes to rocker cover take the breather hose off were it concts to the filter and put a breather filer on that
