tying off choke

If my choke is tied off, i really dont need the copper tubing that goes from the manifold, over the exhaust heads, to the carb right? I can take it off??...its kind of in the way....this is ok to do right?

 

Does the pipe lead to a vacuum source? If so, put a cap on it.

 

It could be an exhaust soruce for heat. You may end up with an exhaust leak.

 

yes the tube goes to an opening on top of the intake manifold then to the choke. So i should plug the intake side right? as well as the choke?

 

anybody?
