Default AIR system uninstall

I took my exhaust off last night (2 beers)
and I'm going to install true duals. The AIR system is
going bye bye.
Are there any tips, tricks or pitfalls to look out for when removing this system on my '81?
Thanks

I just took off the AIR system in my 74. Really wasn't a pain at all. Just make sure you plug any holes where the vaccum lines go and SAVE the pump. These things are priceless. Also make sure you get a longer belt that can take the place of the one your taking off.

I think mine is on a belt by itself.

If you are running a Serpentine belt I suspect you will have to make up the slack.
