Default ?? about air pump...

I put a lid on my stock ls1, it has the hole in the drivers side of the lid for the rubber hose, it is currently blocked off. The question is what do I do, can I block off the end of the hose or do I need to reconnect it. I was told I could have someone disable it through the computer, is this the way to go or??

Any help is appreciated...

You can just pull the hose off from the back of the block and put an air breather on it. That way you will stay emissions capable.

to me the easiest thing to do would probably connect the hose to the lid, or get yourself a little breather-type air filter to put there. you'd be able to get one at any autoparts store and would be very cheap compared to paying someone to tune it out with a computer.
