Default AIR system removal

I just removed my AIR system for the new headers coming in. Does the wiring that connected to the pump and the little air box up top just stay un-plugged and nothing happens? Also I plugged the one little hose that was a vacuum hose but I'm not sure of any others. Anything I need to know?

i beleive that there is a fuse you have to pull and then any codes can be deleted through a tune if you cant figure it out get ahold of matt from hsw and he can tell you for sure

There are two fuses for the A.I.R. system. Both are in the fuse boxes under the hood. One is a big square fuse in the front box (closest to the headlight) the second is a small 30 amp fuse in the back one. You can zip tie the wires up out of the way when you remove everything.

why doesnt it say to pull the fuses in the AIR removal guides? If left in would it be a problem? So I removed everything, removed the fuses, plugged the little vacuum hose, tied the two wire connectors up, and put the plates back on the manifold. Do I need to worry about anything being messed up at all?

If you leave the fuses in it won't hurt anything. Are you talking about the EGR tube going to the top of the intake? If so you can make a block-off plate for it and **** can it also just make sure you get the codes tuned out.
