Default Removing parts need help !

So i am needing some info on how to remove some things now to start off with is the passenger side air bag I thought it just unbolted and came down but i unbolted the brackets from both left and right side and the 2 that hold the air bag in so it doesn't shake and still won't come out can someone explain that ? And the EGR I belive that i just need a block off plate for both headers and the top of the intake and then I don't know about the air pump and what needs to be done to take that out if someone could explain that also and how to get all of that out and what needs to be done thanks

its not hard to remove the dash to remove the passenger airbag. plus, u can remove even more un-needed weight wit the dash off. airbag comes off alot easier with the dash removed. to remove EGR and air injection is simple. everything pretty much unbolts. u can get block-off plates from speedinc or texasautocraft.com

on the airpump you can just cut the hose and plug it off under the fuse box, also you can pull the fuse for the pump, if you want to do that after you cut the hose..

u could try removing the passenger airbag by pulling the glovebox lid. not sure tho. air pump itself comes off with 4 bolts. remove all hoses and round vaccuum cansiter and purge solenoid. its really simple

dude the honest, best way to remove the airbags is to remove the whole dash. my seem like alot of work but its honestly not hard at all. just unbolting alot of ****. remove bolts and seperate and label the bolt locations in ziplock bags

the air blockoff plates are for the air tubes on top of each exhaust manifold. u can buy all the blockoff plates u need from speedinc or texasautocraft.com
