Thats pretty much what I did. I actually completely removed the hot air
system by removing the heat shroud from the manifold, it's only 2 bolts.
be sure to cap the vaccum lines that lead to the plastic contraption after
you remove it. 3-inch hose is the closest size for the stock airbox
fitting, I had to add a few wraps of duct tape so it wedged on securely. I
used aluminum dryer hose, but 3" red-silicon aircraft ducting would be
neat. Racer's Wholesale sells it, but only in 11' lenghts. You can get it
by the foot at www.aircraft-spruce.com
