Default what to do with air tube after header install

ok, i just did a heads/cam, timing chain, pulley,and header swap.this is on an '02 f bod. my problem is with the header install (pacesetters). i removed both air tubes from the stock exhaust manifolds and set aside. when i get the pacesetters botled up and am hooking back up everything,i notice there are no provisions on the pacesetters to hook back up theese two air tubes! so what the heck am i to do? are theese the wrong headers?

Yah, I agree, it cleans it up without them under there. I took them off my car long ago.

Sounds like you got the Non-Smog headers.
If you don't have to pass smog tests, guess you could get rid of them as suggested above.
