Default AIR pump delete Question

I hate to beat a dead horse but, I removed my Air pump and installed Pacesetter mid tubes and was wondering where to get a plug to block the air fittings? I also remember reading that yo had to plug the vacume port but do you have to do anything with the electrical? I tried to go to Home Depot and Meclendons hardware stores with no luck.

Depending on what year your car is (you don't mention), 93-95s use a M22 oil drain plug, 96-97s use an M22. Most, hardware stores (at least around me) do not carry them and you'll need to go to a parts store.

I just tied the wiring harness out of the way. Use a 5/8" vacuum cap to cap off the fitting on the intake ducting.
