Not quite sure how?
1989 auto. I want to disconnect the air tube from the converter at the air pump itself. Not sure what I need to do and won't that put too much back pressure on the punp I want to leave pump on incase I need to attach air line in future. Main cat will be removed and saved also

Just leave the output from the A.I.R. pump open. It won't hurt anything. Mine has a short rubber hose right near the #2 spark plug that connects to the converter pipe.
I don't know what the default air connection for the A.I.R. diverter valves is. You might be able to just disconnect the electrical connectors. The options are: Air goes to exhaust manifolds. Air goes to atmosphere. Air goes to catalytic converter. If the air goes to the atmosphere then you're set.

Looking at my FSM I shiuld only have to unplug the converter solenoid at the air pump. Doing this should allow air to be diverted from going to hose to converter out to atmosphere
