I've removed the viscous fan, water pump, thermostat, aircon pump and bracket, starter motor and standard manifold.
I have an M50 manifold ready to go on, I've removed the old one and also removed the oil separator bits as per the wiki.
1) My first question is around the coke can sized component near the dipstick tube, does that also get removed? If not, any suggestions where I connect the vacuum hoses?

2) Next question is around relocation of M52 AIT sensor, I found that it will fit perfectly in the push fit hole next to the existing M50 AIT sensor, but I think this is usually where the FPR vacuum hose is located, can the sensor stay here and I relocate the FPR vacuum, any ideas where?
If the FPR vacuum must go in that hole then i'll need to source the plastic insert as my manifold never came with one.

3) Next is the sensor on the old M52 throttle body, is that part of the ASC? Do I need to worry about the sensor being disconnected or do I just plug the sensor in and leave it in the engine bay somewhere?

4) Finally, I've forgotten what connects to this connector? (to the left of the TB mounting point)

That's everything I can think of for now, thanks!
