I would like to test it, but the old one is still in there. I was not about to R&R the alternator to fit the new vacuum reservoir in. I was trying to meet a CA smog deadline and I knew I had good vacuum now.
So I left it in place and installed the new one temporarily over near the SAI air pump. I will take the old one out when/if i have to change the alternator.

I too am sorting through the vacuum system. Non of the diagrams I’ve seen show the second intake flapper solenoid. I had to stop looking at diagrams and start thinking about how the system worked. My problems were mostly due to a leaky accumulator tank.
Also, I’m not sure why anyone would remove the alternator to get to the accumulator tank. On my 02 S the tank is right under the passenger side intake plenum. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass, but it does not require alternator removal. Perhaps the 03 is completely different, but I doubt it.
