!AIR Removal ?'s

I just put some LT's in my 02, and I am planning on tunning it soon, so I took out all of the hoses I could see connected to the AIR system, however I did not take the pump out, I know its behind the bumper, but I dont know exactly where, is there an easy way to get to it? Do I just unplug and unbolt it? I left a small vacuum line attached to the intake manifold that I couldn't get off, (I think its the one Im supposed to leave, it really small...anyone have any pics???) do I need to plug it? I have a small sucking sound coming from what sounds like my brake booster, but I can only hear it when I am sitting in the driver seat... I looked and I couldn't find any pics of it.

Put a vacuum cap on the hose on the back of the intake.

The AIR pump has 4 bolts holding it on.

Just open the access door under the bumper and unbolt it.

To get to the pump unscrew the little flap under your drivers side front bumper (2screws). Look in there and you'll be staring at it. You can just unplug it and remove it (4screws). You'll get a code sometime in the future relating to your air injectors which is the pump. I'd just take it out cuz removing those hoses will still give you that code. The sucking sound is more than likely the pump running. It's pretty loud once you remove the hoses from it. I didn't plug the vacuum line but alot of ppl will recommend it.

wow, thanks, i didnt know there was a "door" under the bumper, that will make it easier. Is the vacuum hose really small? Where do i get a v-cap? cant I just make one out of something? any reccomendations?
