Default how do i remove AIR from 02 ws6

I have a 02 ws6 and am wanting to delete and remove the AIR. I was looking and saw how to get it out of the drivers side under the headlight . Then i saw it went to some thing in the back by the fire wall mounted to the engine. If anyone can help,post pics, or just help in any way please do so.
Thanks, Justin Rhoades

It should just be the pump under the headlight and then a rubber hose following the driver side fender well and it should split into two sections back there and come down on each header. You will have to get little block off plates which are cheap, or if you are buying headers you can just get the offroad versions that have no air tubes on them. Nothin real special about removing it, just unbolt everything and pull it out and throw away.

These are what need to be capped, and the two plates on the manifolds unless your going with race headers.

where the hose comes from the drivers side it goes back and goes into this round thing thats on the heads or intake. it is round and the other hose is attachted to it and goes to the passengers side. i know how to take out the thing under headlight from under the car and how to take off the part that goes to the manifolds. but there seems to be some thing in the back that connects the two hose.

So what needs to be capped is in the back of the motor on the driver's side where the two hoses come out of? Also, what did you use to cap yours?

What are the benfits from taking the a.i.r off the car, also the egr? I just put headers on my car and the dang breathers on the header are welded in the wrong postion. So i might be having to do the same thing.
