you'll need a tuner hardware/software of some sort and laptop or handheld tuner. handheld tuners such as diablosport or software/hardware tuners such as hptuners or efi-live.

Diablosport tools do NOT allow the disabling or deletion of ANY emissions-related items or trouble codes, as it is against the E-P-A regulations/law...

Use TunerPro/UniversalPatcher and PCMHammer. Then you can just delete all the codes regarding emissions. Just remove all the emissions related codes that pop up

So you might want to spend a serious amount of time studying how the software works before you touch anything..
one of the fairly common questions on here is "I changed something and now my car wont start... "

I have a Holley terminator so I don't have the full how to for ya,, but once I sat down with the manuals and really read them workign with the tuning software got so much easier as well as giving me more troubleshooting knowledge..

Another possibility might be to send your PCM to a tuner willing to disable those codes for you. You might find it even cheaper to buy a rebuilt PCM from a vendor on EBAY who will disable those codes.
I would suggest not changing the tune, e.g. "leaning it out a bit", until/unless you know a lot about tuning or you will have a poor running engine, no start, or even holes in the pistons.
