On my 1275 I left the PCV valve and the breather canister. Everything
else went but it is a 68 so there wasn't a whole lot on there anyway.
The amount of emissions gear on the engine changed year by year in
accord with USA polution regulations so yours probably has a lot more
junk on it being 6 years later.
