American Car Craft Camaro Plenum Cover Brushed_Polished Illuminated Version 2010-2013 - Manual (Page 2)

In order to install this part you will need to follow the engine wire tuck procedures on the following page. This
will explain how to rearrange a few things so that you will have a nice neat engine set up prior to this
installation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 2010 CHEVY CAMARO WIRE HARNESS AND LINE TUCK
This instruction is to allow you to rearrange the factory placement of wire harnesses, vacuum lines and heater
hoses to allow the installation of American Car Crafts New Camaro Engine Bay Dress up Accessories. Providing
an alternative to the factory engine shroud cover, the procedure for rearranging the factory placement of
these items are relatively simple and straight forward. Designed to clean up the look of the engine and will
allow you a more direct access to the coil packs, fuel injectors and fuel lines much in the same way you would
be able to in a Corvette.
This procedure is completely reversible and in no way will void any warranty or permanently alter or damage
the engine and or its performance.
You will need to purchase:
3’ of 5/8 Heater Hose
3’ of 3/4 Heater Hose
8’ of 3/8 Standard Vacuum Hose
1 Vacuum Quick Connect Release Disk
1. Remove the factory engine cover and save for restoration purposes.
2. Now that the engine is uncovered take a minute to look over the engine to identify the areas we will
rearrange. You will notice the two heater hoses strung over the engine as well as hard plastic vacuum
lines and top mounted wire harnesses. You will also notice the factory fuel line strung across the
engine leaping over to a wheel well bracket. In the next several steps we will reposition these things
into a more appealing arrangement.
3. The first thing you will need to do will be to temporarily remove the factory air tube, releasing the two
attached clamps, and vacuum line protruding from the left side of the tube. This vacuum tube is a quick
release and need only be examined to see how to release it.
4. Next remove the four 10mm bolts securing the aluminum throttle body and remove it for now. At this
time you may want to think about polishing the throttle body while it is detached from the engine. This
is a relatively easy thing to do and will look great with your new accessories.
5. The next thing we will do is to remove the factory heater hoses and save them. You will notice that the
two heater hoses contain a quick disconnect joint at the front side of the motor. Remove the steel clip
at the center of the two connectors. Place a drain bucket at this area to catch the antifreeze. Clamp the
hose as to not allow the fluid to escape when you are ready to separate the hose. You can do this easily
by clamping a couple of vise grips on either side of the connector. When you are ready simply pull the
connecter apart. A limited amount of fluid will escape into your bucket. Tip the end of the connector
into the bucket and release the fluid by unclamping the vise grip. Release the fluid from both ends of
the hose until the fluid is completely drained. Perform this same procedure for the other hose as well.
