Pony up the $175.00 to get it tuned- no AIR is fine if you leave the pump fuse in, EGR you definitely want tuned out if you delete it, front O2s are a must for correct AFR...

Edit: 95 car won't have rear O2s, my bad. Keep the 2 you have.

When you buy the eBay long tubes, you should accept the fact that they are going to need some minor modifications to get to work. If you're not capable of making the necessary adjustments then maybe they aren't for you.

The car will run fine without AIR and EGR albeit with increased emissions. Just make sure you have the EGR programmed out and leave the O2s and wiring intact.

You CAN run without the O2s, but for anything that sees any amount of street driving there's absolutely no need for it. Keep them.

The AIR pump fuse is the AIR pump fuse. It's in the fuse box.
