Long tube header help.
Well im new to the vette so lookin for a little help here.
I am wanting to put long tube headers on my 88, right now is all stock.
I have read through several how-to's but there is one part I cant find an answer to.
After I install the headers, what do I do about the air-pump emmision stuff that will no longer be attached to anything.
I live in a state where there is no emissions testing, so I dont care about that. And I have seen people talk about a 'delete kit' but cant find any real info on it.

Install this then remove the AIR pump, the valve and the related parts. You can then remove the EGR valve and use a block off plate to cover the holes in the intake manifold.
This may or may not light up the check engine light on your dash. You can either pull the bulb if that happens or have your ecm reprogrammed to eliminate it.
This supposedly gives you up to 20 more hp but most doubt that claim.
By the way - this really cleans up the front of the engine and gives you more room there.

they make headers that work with all your air pump.
