I havent tried, but it is real tight routing where it dips under the cruise control and behind the power steering pump. Just to get the pipe out I had to pull the cruise control and disconnect the vacuum pump.
Fun tip: the vacuum pump can be capped using a clean port cap for a receiver drier, if you have out laying around. I have taken to saving all of the caps I get with various fittings, they seem to work in other fittings somewhat frequently.
