I'd spray cooking oil on the EBPV tube and connections, let it bake off. As rust prevention cuz it's hurtin'.
Heck spray all the rust. Season it like your skillet.
Bird removal is optional but recommended.

Not too long ago there was a user here who posted pics of block rusted through right next to his exhaust manifold. It was a new one on me but seeing was believing.

Hard to imagine that regularly driven engine block rusts through..

Not too bad. At least the heads on the bolts appear to still be close to 13MM. I have an engine sitting in a shed from a NY state pickup where the majority of the heads on the manifold bolts will nearly fit in an 8MM socket.
I've said it before....
How you poor souls in the rust belt haven't castrated yout D.O.T. higher-ups for unwilling destruction of your vehicles is beyond my comprehension.

I could handle some of that and if I could find a fishing partner up here, I'd hit the Jersey and DE shores for stripers.
