I have searched this whole damn forum along with others for an air delete how to with pictures. All the how tos don't having working pictures. I know the usual, take the pump out on the drivers side from the bottom. I wanna know about what's going on in the back by the intake. I have read there is a hole in the intake that needs plugged? With what? Does anybody have pictures of this?

I just did this. The most helpful thread for me was this: https://ls1tech.com/forums/new-ls1-o...air-tubes.html

However, you're right -- no one ever really mentions what's actually going on behind the intake. While many mention just taking the vacuum line out and plugging it, they're never mentioning the yanking all of the vacuum stuff off the back of the intake will not only remove the AIR stuff, but also the vacuum lines required to operate the HVAC circulation door.

So, what does this mean? Once you get back to the "T" fitting, you'll only want to remove the vacuum piece on the top (the line that comes from the AIR system). I simply used the vacuum cap assortment from Motormite (their "Help" brand) that can be found at any parts store to plug that top part. Nothing else was touched on/behind the intake

Alright thank you! Just wanted to make sure that was cleared up.

I removed the air and I was expecting the SES light but I never got it?

How long of a drive did you take after you yanked it all out?

Drove around two days doing errands. Roughly 120 miles

Interesting. Perhaps a previous owner deleted it in the pcm?

I deleted my Air, pulled the fuses and drove for over 400 miles and the light never came on.

Light will only come on for air pump often full drive cycle I bet if you turn your rear defroster on for two minutes the next time you drive it the light will pop on
