Here are some pictures. The first one is the air regulator thingy, the second is of two electrical things I can't seem to remember where to attach. The last two are the other hoses I need to find the names for... I think I might just need to go to the Nissan dealership tomorrow.

I have an 85 NA z31, and recently replaced the rocker cover gaskets. In the process of removing the intake collector, a couple of those stiff rubber hoses on the right side of the motor broke/split. I'm still trying to figure out what the other one is for, but one of them is a hose that is connected to the air regulator. Is it possible to run the car without that hose? I was trying to get the car ready for a trip that would be around 300 miles. Would it be dangerous to drive with no hose for such a long distance, if it will drive at all? Also, where would I purchase that particular hose? Thanks.

Never mind, I got it off. Ugh.

I am also having trouble getting the left side valve cover off... It appears to be getting stuck on the ac compressor bracket, which is really making me mad. Is there a trick to getting it off?
