Default how long does it take to do !air?

when the car is already in the air waiting for headers to be taken off how long does it take to remove the air system? are there any negatives of just keeping it there other then the fact that its big, ugly, and sounds stupid? for example does it mess with performance or air/fuel etc.

If you removing the air get rid of it and all the plumbing. Excess weight on the drag strip. Removing all the air lines makes the engine bay look much better. Nothing to gain power wise just a cleaner lighter car.

It probably the about the same time to take it out as it would to get it hooked back up to the headers again.

When You Remove The Air Did You Just Plug The Hole In The Lid?

I have an 02 Camaro, once I unhook the tubes on the manifolds is there any other parts to unhook or plug? Like vac lines etc...
