Installed A.I.R. pump eliminator kit tonight.
It took me 3 hours. ( I can hear the laughter all the way up here in Connecticut. :lol: ) It's a good thing I have been reading all of the post regarding this topic, it help quite a bit such as.....
-Keeping the alternator to exhaust braket, and when re-ataching it add some washers to the exhaust side.
All things said it freed up alot of space. The only problem I came across was removeing the hoses to the air box. The kit came with three plugs, I needed four.
Oh, and the other problem I had was the photocopied instructions on the back side of the instruction sheet. It had been copied and recopied over so many times that the photos were black smudges.
No codes came up after removal,

I did it also. I get some codes after driving over 20 minutues, though it may be something else as I have not scanned it yet, and don't use the car much.

AS84, I bought mine from Zip. However I think they all come from Breathless.
Tex, I haven't driven mine for over 20 minutes yet, I'll try that today if the rain lets up.

I've driven my car over 700 miles since putting it on, and no codes yet. :)

Does anyone know the fine for this mod if you get cought on the street?
I highly doubt you'd ever get "caught" though. :) I doubt it is like the fines placed on messing with the cats.

If a cop was to ask you to raise your hood, and actually KNOW that something is missing..... I would think something along the lines of a $25 equipment fine, that you could probably get waived if you went to court with a signed document from a mechanic saying that it is replaced.
