Default deleting the smog...stuff

Ok does anybody know the size of the plug in the back of the 302 heads for smog? Im putting long tube headers on and my air injection pipe was rusted off so i disconnected it all and now just need to figure out what i gotta get to plug it up with. Also i traced all the vac lines down from the canister on the fenderwell the only one im concerned about is the black hose connects to the control solenoids. Do i just leave it all connected minus the crap behind the heads? Need some help. Thanks

Leave the solenoids hooked up. I don't know the plug size for the V8s but they have the plugs on the front of the heads too if you want to pull one to match it up.

A few ways to cap a vacuum line:

1) Buy some caps
2) Use a rubber vacuum line with a screw in the end of it.
3) Use a rubber vacuum line with the end of it burnt shut.
