not much pressure in the lines, when i popped the line off the vac reserve it sounded like someone blowing through a straw. Only thing i would recommend that i didn't put in my other thread was do it when the car is cold, as you'll be about elbow deep in the engine bay to get to the line leading to the vac reserve tank (the black plastic softball-sized thing on the front of the motor). Also, do the lines one at a time. If you take off more than one at a time, its easy to get confused about what goes where and how big the lines need to be. Other than that, its pretty much your standard "measure-twice-cut-once" situation. Good luck man!
