I'm in the middle of putting my vortech head unit mounting brackets on, and I noticed that my car's AIR pump inlet valve was ripped off and the hose was missing, because I bought my car used, I'm assuming the previous owner deleted the AIR in what you wouldn't call the "cleanest" way. Well, since my car's AIR is already disabled and it's a pain in the *** to relocated the AIR pump, can I just deleted my AIR pump all together? My headers are Pacesetter long tubes with emissions hookups, would that cause a problem? Would I have to plug them up? thanks

 

Get rid of that junk. I would have dumped it a long time ago. You just have to put a block off plate on..

 

Ok, I'm going to rip out the pump and all the vacuum lines as well, thanks for your reply!

 

is there a place that sells blockoff plates? I need one for the header and also one for the intake manifold

 

I got mine off ebay I believe.. Search on there

 

www.ls1speed.com is where I got mine. I just deleted mine this weekend. If you remove the actual pump and not just the tubing (like I did for the time being) you will get an SES light. I removed all the tubing, put on the block off plates, and no codes were thrown. It just blows air out into nothing for 2 minutes and makes a neat little "pop" now that the tubing isn't on. Way easier to do your plugs now too.

 

so you left the pump in the car?

haha, you can get it tuned out.

and yea ls1speed sells the block off plates for fairly cheap
