I have taken the avc off 3 times last week - should find out what the advantages and dissadvantages of keeping it are and should get rid and blank!

3 bolts - 2 you can see one underneath you can\'t :)

I believe you blank off the hoses.  I did a search and I read you can also remove a solinid - if you do a search for ACV it comes up in the first 10 results :)
