All you have to do is cut the vacume line that connects from the top of the manifold to a 2x2 little black box under you throttle body, the hose is no longer than 5inches. just T tap into that and your done. I'll try to get some pics.

Astro this didn't work out for you???

I used a 90 degree brass fitting and washers to raise the FSTB, going on 2 years and no probs. I got my brass fitting over at Do-It Center.

I've never heard of a Do-it center, so yesterday I went to the Home Depot to pick up some washers they didn't have the correct size so I got some oversized ones that I thought would fit (5/16" doesn't work) they didn't . I was only able to use 4 original washers on the rear bolts then a home depot oversized washer on the bolt closest to the engine.

However...we still had to put 2 washers on the stud closest to the engine bay. But hey...its a lot better then putting 4 to 5 washers. I'll be putting up pics of Ray's install soon. The brass fitting part size is : 1/8 thread male/female combo 69X2. Hope that made sense.

Wow thanks I don't know how I missed that.

I've never had any washers under my strut bar. I had the bar worked when I first had the SC installed and performance has never been a problem. I simply took it to a machine shop and had a small half circle area removed, repainted and covered with a rubber grommet for cosmetic reasons. I'll post a few pics soon.
