Bought a 1997 855 on the cheap... 850

For the SAS delete, you need to solder the pins in the ECU - no big deal. And then you need to keep the solenoid on the radiator shroud and the relay hooked on to the blower by the left front wheel. You can then close the hole at the #1 exhaust runner and eliminate the SAS valve that sticks up between the engine and firewall, eliminate the hose from the pump to the SAS valve, vacuum line from the fan shroud solenoid to the SAS valve, eliminate the pump and the air supply line to the air filter (plug the hole in the filter box). I hung the blower relay on the shelf behind the headlight.

If you are using the 1996 intake manifold, then the vacuum line for the fuel pressure regulator (looks like a fuel line) will have to be routed to the vacuum tree. I suggest using the 1997 intake manifold, nicely cleaned up of course.

Before you install the engine, swap out the old PCV hoses and oil separator box, new belts, etc.

When I did the SAS delete, I found a 1995 turbo air cleaner box at the P&P, that not only eliminated the air hole for the SAS pump, but eliminated the warm air hose from the exhaust manifold. I included the fresh air duct from the radiator. Engine works great. Eliminated another vacuum line from the vacuum tree.
