Make a block off plate. You could use the original mounting flange and fill the hole, or use some steel plate and cut a new one. Make sure you use something to seal it. If you plan on installing headers, you could do what most of us do, and order race style, so there is no AIR mount.

I used the original flanges, filled the wholes and painted them.

If you know youre not going to want to put the AIR back on you can use jb weld on the block off plates. Theres no chance of a leak and it looks really clean too. Id order straight race headers though if you still have the choice.
