There are AIR pump delete kits available from around $150 or so. Just bolt it on and go.

Yes. It's fine.

Many people have fabricated their own brackets.

Although with my limited space and tools, it'd be really hard. I opted for the easy way out and installed the eliminator kit. Buck sixty and some light fab work, it fits with no problems now. Looks nice too.
