Not sure what it is, but I figured it was some kind of pump. Its where all the hoses connected to. Its located under the front support on the drivers side behind the headlight. I figured since I removed the AIR tubes that go to the headers, I might as well pull all the hoses that run off of it. The last ones that I had was the one that ran along the drivers side panel/top of wheel well and the one that connected to the lid. Anyhow, I was wondering would I be ok to remove it. I believe I had it removed from my PCM, so I dont think it should throw any codes. I dont think I will ever put the AIR back on, so I removed that big canister thing. Plus, less weight! Am I cool without it? Thanks.

 

I removed mine also. No problems as of yet.

 

yea you can take it off. i believe it has a vacuum line on top of it (if im not mistaken), dont forget to plug it

 

Plug what? I took out everything. The tubes that come off the headers or manifolds if you have them, the rubber tubes coming off them, the little pump or whatever its called that some of the hoses connect to with the little one on top, the one that runs on the passenger side fender well, the one that plugs into the air lid, and then that big pump like thing below the front support behind the headlight. I took it all out and I just want to be certain that I will be ok without it. AIR is removed out of my PCM and I have blockoff plates on the bungs off the headers. So if Im not mistaken, Im good to go unless Im running a risk of taking that pump out.

 

i removed everything, pump and hoes.

 

Dont forget to remove the fuse for it either or youll have a live plug dangling around

 

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that I ty-rapped it to another wire loom and put electrical tape on the plug so that it wouldnt get any water in it. Is that good enough?

 

The only reason I removed the AIR system was to get rid of the pump. It weighs 10+ lbs I believe. I'll weigh it tomorrow it's still sitting in my garage. The nose on an F-Body is heavy in my opinion and anything that can be done to lighten it is good.

 

Wow...I never thought about how much weight I took off! I probably have a good 11 to 12 lbs. that I removed. If you add up the pump, all the rubber, and the tubes, it adds up. Awesome!

 

Removed mine as well.

 

The AIR pump is only there to help the exhaust flow through the cats, so if you don't have cats, then you don't need the pump I never thought about removing the fuse that controls the pump. Might be a good idea so I don't have an electrical fire from the end of the wire getting wet or something.

 

Same as everyone else - removed it because I didn't have cats, wanted the weight savings, and it cleans up the engine bay a bit. Thats if you remove all hoses and pump (although you can't see the pump).

 

Removed everything... Funny, my buddy was down there removing the pump pulled it out and told me my car had just given birth, and asked me to cut the umbilical cord LOL

 

lol @ pongo

i removed all that crap too. Sure was a pain in the *** unbolting the airpump without safety glasses. I ran to the sink at least twice, from sand in my eyes

 

I'll have to do this. I didn't even think about it when I did my header install.

 

You'd have thought you woulda learned the first time... lol

 

What has everyone done with the plastic connector under the cal on the drivers side. There is I think 3 or 4 tubes connecting to it and a really small tube going to the top of it. Do yall block them off or what.

 

I removed that as well.

 

yep....I pulled the pump and wiped the code with LS1Edit (I was getting the code almost from the day I got the car/before I removed the pump )

 

I just finished removing my pump and have a coupe questions. Did you guys remove the little canister looking thing too? its about 4" high and 2" wide. It has some lines running to it.
