My fuses are still in, and i haven't had any complaints.

I just took my EGR wires, and taped them to the wires that run down to the A/C compressor.

so the air pump doesnt come on, since its disconnected you wouldnt need it to come on. you could just unplug it but the fuse is easier to get to and remove.

So you actually disabled the system, but left the pump in the car? Why the hell didn't you remove it all together?

I just took the whole thing out, saves a little weight and no need in having it if its not doing anything. It only takes a few minutes to get out.
