there's a bigger pipe which is an oil breather, you can put any filter onto that. There is also a crank case&fuel tank breather which I just blocked, but you could put some cloth or something over the end?
and then there's a mixture compensator hose, it goes to the base of the carby I think, or maybe direct into the manifold. You can just block that one up also.

You will have no problems on the TD. The ramflo filter that I have has the vacumm connection on it. You will need a little filter for the rocker cover. You can get a K&N one for around $20. The fuel seperator connection can be connected to the air filter by attaching another connection to it or make up a small filter like I've done with a peice of foam stuffed inside an old fuel filter. ie cut the top of the fuel filter, remove the filter and put some foam in it. I got my TX through a blue slip with this setup.
