Title: RS - Vacuum Line Hole in Firewall?
Post by: FinnRS on January 05, 2011, 10:13:43 PM

I'm trying to determine if my Camaro was ordered with the RS package. Is there any sure way to find this out? I don't have sales invoice, PoP or any orignal document to prove it. The car has all the RS equipment except for vacuum lines so I'm not confirmed yet. I was wondering if every Camaro left the factory with the vacuum line hole in firewall or only the RS equipped Camaros?

My 1969 RS/SS has the hole for the RS vacuum, does not have the hole for cowl hood wiring (does not have a cowl hood), but does have another hole below the vacuum hole for the power convertable top feed.

Holes only pierced if RPO Z22 and RPO ZL2 was ordered.

That pic and all the related info should tell you all the unique RS features.

Along with the info previously referenced (some of this is redundant):

The differences between a RS and the standard body included (in 1969):

different outer fenders, different inner fenders, different grille, hideaway headlights (based on vacuum actuated, articulating, headlight mounting bracket to rotate the headlight covers in and back in the open position), inner and outer headlight door covers, vacuum cannisters, mounting brackets for the vacuum cannisters, vacuum reservoir, relay valve and the associated vacuum lines, different headlight switch with vacuum hose connections, different windshield wiper switch (2 dentent positions, first detent routes water to the windshield washer nozzles, second detent routes water to the headlight washer nozzles which spray water on the headlights), headlight washer nozzles, diverter valve on the windshield washer pump, water tubing from the diverter valve to the headlight washers, and even a difference in the front header panel to accomodate the headlight washers themselves --- even down to the miniscule items like the bracket that holds the windshield washer bottle - it is in a different location on a RS.  And this doesn't include the Style Trim RPO Z21 items that are a part of RPO Z22, the RS package.

Thanks for the replies everybody! I also have the vacuum hole and that means that I might actually have an original RS!
