Start with a Haynes and/or Chilton's manual. The VEC1 labels available from the Motorcraft Service website only show basic vacuum routing as required for emissions. You might also search on the 'net for an EVTM manual for your year/model truck. EVTM = Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual. Ford has produced these for years as service manuals for their service techs.

hey bro welcome to the site.. as for your problem chiltons manual will do you might be able to find a .PDF version on line .. also you might run in to a problem removein stuff Some EECs are built to read sensors on your truck ,etc, and if it has cali emms, before takeing the junk off might make your eng not even run at all or horrible...

i cant help you bc i dont know whats what , i myself live in cali and deal with the emms every two yrs... i went to the smog check center 6 times in one day before AH HA... good luck hope someone else can help you .. just make sure it doesnt mess up your eng/EEC
