since you're in Fl, no problems with the air delete....many on this forum have done it, you can do a thread search...you may have to fashion a bracket and change the belt to do it correctly...don't know if it really gives you a lot extra in HP but it sure does clean up the engine bay....

When are you planning on doing the header install? I would like to see how bad a job it is and fitment on the Hookers and I would be glad to lend a hand. The AIR delete isnt a big job but you may need a shorter belt, at least I did. I had to grind on my alternator case just a little but I am thinking it may not be a stocker.
