Default AIR Delete Question

Hello Forums,

Deleting my air system to make room. Ripping the pump, the air diverter, the metal line to cat and replacing with pulley.

What about the airswitching solenoid? Does it come out too, ie the other black box next to the AC compressor?

Also, no I don't have emissions testing and the pre cats and cat have been replaced with headers and high flow cat.



Thanks!
