Is this the stock air filter that comes with the kit? These are the only lines i could see. I don't see any one going directly to the air filter. Don't understand why an air filter would need an oil line either.
Could you help me out and identify these lines for me.
Thankx in advance

No that's an aftermarket CAI setup. You are half way there. Remove the hose going into that pipe and put a crank case filter on it. You are going to have to plug the hole on the intake pipe or just replace the pipe. It should be easy to do. I removed the hose on my car all together and put the crank case filter on the back of the driver side valve cover.
This is the oil line you were refering to? The one that goes to the airfilter? Ok, intake tube. Same thing...
And What is it for? *shrug* Why would I want my crankcase breather going into my SC intake? Makes no sense to me
Also: What are those other 2 lines going under the blower on that pic I posted?

That hose used to be hooked up to the stock intake pipe. It's to relieve crank case pressure. You don't need it hooked up to your intake pipe now that you have a supercharger. They just had to give you spot for it since it was there from the factory. You do need to put a filter on the end of the hose or the valve cover to relieve the cranck case pressure and not suck in any dirt.

Any suggestions on how to clean out my intercooler of oil? Stoopid! Prev owner should of handled this long time ago (recently bought the car.)
question: On the other side I have a greddy oil catch can. Can't I do the same thing there? Just put a crankcase filter/breather on the passenger side valve cover as well, plug the vacume hose on the intake manifold and lose the oil catch can all together? Again, what's the mechanical purpose of breathing crankcase pressure back into the intake?
Seems pointless and troublesome. OR is it giving me boost? LOL : )

wait, why did you have to remove intercooler piping to tighten your belts?
belts are tightened with 2 tools: 12mm socket and 14mm wrench.
loosen the pulley nut with teh 14mm then go under and tighten the adjuster with the 12mm socket. doesn't require removing any piping.

between me and bigc it was a joke.
MAX: pan spacer will be fine if you do'nt want to drill. I had my stock block drilled and then this built block i use a tapped greddy pan (which will work the same as a spacer for return). Either will work fine.
