Default Air Pump Delete Question

I am removing the airpump from my 02 TA. I believe these 2 lines went to the air pump system. If I recall one goes to the back of the intake and the other ran to a solenoid of some type that was mounted to the factory intake ( I think). Since I have pulled the pump can I just cut these off and cap the fitting on the back of the intake? I can't see what they run to on the other end because they are tied in with the wide harness.

Just want to double check before I start hacking things up. Thanks

These lines run back into the wiring harness

Yes delete it and cap it off at the Intake manifold next to the map sensor

Here's a pic to show every component.
