Default can i delete my air system if....

I bought some block off plates to delete my air system to try to clean up my engine bay (i know it has no real benefit) but i do not have it tuned out. I do have a tune on my car but i know the AIR system still comes on. So if I take it off will the car still run as normal? Will the only thing that happens is my check engine light will come on?

thanks
Summer

The car will run as normal and your check engine light will come on. That's it. Go for it! oh and that annoying hissing will go away.

Something else to consider is it'll probably void the 10yr/120K extended warranty on your cats, unless you keep everything and reinstall it before visiting a dealer for replacement.
