Block off plates? ok, so a friend who is going to help me put my headers on told me to get some block off plates for my headers. Other than less **** to mess with when u do this, whats the advantage of using the plates. Oh, and yes i do know what they are.
The advantage is less clutter in the engine bay , no EGR / AIR .
Find out how strict your states emissions testing is before hand .
Where I live we run dominator carbs on the street and open headers ,no emissions testing.

Yes depending on how strict your local testing is you can remove the A.I.R. junk. If you need to make block-off plates then get some thin sheet metal and trace the factory A.I.R. fitting and cut it out with tin snips
