And I thought that Hot Pipe Thing was a hand rail. Now I know why it hurt to grab it.

Urrr...I DID get rid of the pump a few yrs ago; heres a quick photo of the thing now (with over 100 painful hours of polishing / detailing!):
You'll notice - NO AIR PUMP & no air tubes going to the Exh. manifolds anymore!
PS: 'connecticut', Give me half a chance and I'll do the other engine series' too! hahaha
Need a donor engine first tho!
