Removing AIR I'm removing the air pump and lines. My question is do I also remove the little pump looking thing thats on the top of the driver side valve cover and what else do i remove line etc.? there is also a plastic tube that runs on the passenger side that hooks up to the throttle body do I remove that too?

You will need to loosen (it doesn't have to come off) a bolt on the back of the head using the Hellen Keller method and remove a nut from the last coil pack stud and the whole assembly should slide up and come off. Of course disconnect the hoses from it and there will be a vacuum line hooked to the top of it (the plastic tube you were talking about). This will need to be plugged. I plugged mine into one of the coil pack studs, it looks like it belongs there. G/L

10) When removing the Air system on the 00+ cars you'll be left with a vacuum hose that you'll need to plug up.
