Thinking about reviving the charcoal canister and maybe the hot air intakes on the air filter snorkels.

EVTM is stupid vague and shop manual just shows a pic of an engine in black and white that is about like it sitting on the floor with nothing called out.

What is supposed to go to where?

EVTM being helpful:

Do you have both tin stoves on the exhaust manifolds? You need those to put the heat tubes up to the snorkels. I remember that system being somewhat problematic... when they fail... the flapper closes and pulls hot air all the time. At least thats what I remember... but it has been a long time since I've even messed with any of that.

I do not but thought air from the engine bay would get warmer than outside air pretty quickly.
