The AIR system is used to heat up the cats when they're cold (emissions). to delete this system what you do is disconnect the AIR pump and the plumbing. You will need two block off plates(to cover the holes) for your exhaust manifolds

removing the air system is not a power adder..! well maybe if you pull out all the plumbing and the pump you may loose 5-6 pounds off the front end....

i only pulled mine because i put on long tubes and those will screw up the floating valves in the air lines.....

anyway unless you have LT headers I see no reason besides weight reduction.

maybe route the AIR plumbing to the intake and have a ultra low boost supercharger.
