P1416 Solutions?

I've been reading and it says this is because of the AIR check valve on my passenger side. A $10 fix... but here at Ls1tech we don't do the $10 fix we use the SES as an excuse to spend money. So what I'm mainly asking is this;
Can I just have a tuner turn off my AIR pump and yank all this garbage out and put a block off plate where the AIR sits? (think 6LE sells them)
Thanks guys,
