Installing an EFI/ITB setup - doubts

I'm in the process of installing my "homegrown" efi/itb setup... and when I removed CIS, 2 questions became apparent:

- Should I still use / need the fuel accumulator ? I guess it won't harm if it stays.
- There's a hose from the inside of the CIS airbox (a breather I think) to the top of the oil tank. What should I do to it ? Plug it ?

Thanks

The hose sounds like the oil tank breather. If you don't have it connected, you should run a hose from the oil tank to a catch can as you need to vent the oil tank.

Maybe one of those crankcase breathers attached to a small length of the hose ?

You will not need the fuel accumulator for EFI. Most EFI computers generate a priming pulse when you turn the ignition on to build fuel pressure prior to cranking.
