Default QUICK>>Is this my air pump!!!

I had all of my egr stuff programmed out, I've got a few hours or so free tonight so I want to take my air pump off. I was told its on the driver side right behind the fog light. Is it this entire wad of stuff (large round black cylinder and the smaller back cylinder to its left and a few plugs pluged into it( right behind the driver side fog light)? I just wasn't sure because I don't know how big it is or all that is included that I can take off. let me know. thanks

If your car does not have TCS, the cruise control box is down there too, hope you didn't yank it too!

The big kinda heavy thing that weighs about 5-7lbs is the AIR pump, it has a HOSE running out of it. The cruise control is about 3/4 the size of a coke can and has a cable running out of it that you can trace to the throttle body.
