Default A.I.R. system removal

Anyone know how to do it without having a mess of SES codes? I am sick of all the tubes and wires cluttering up the engine compartment....

You could just do a check first since you have a 94 all you have to do is unplug the AIR pump and make sure the fuse is good and you wont get any SES light. Just have it checked with the pump unpluged and see if it passes or not if so then your good to go if not just plug it back in.

Yeah, it's called an OBD1! They are less sensitive to things like that.

Yea, the OBD1's are nice.. I have all the crap removed, and had no lights come on before I got it tuned out. As far as blocking the Manifolds.. get you some non-emission Headers.
