Default emissions removal ???'s

I passed the smog test last week, so to celebrate, I want to remove the air diverter(if that's what it's called, the black thing with the 2 connectors and several hoses connected to it) and the hoses associated. I already had removed the pipe going to the air injection on the cat before I went for the emissions.

My question is, what do you guys block off the air pipes on the manifolds with? Will a rubber cap stand up to the heat and where do you guys get them from?

Thanks,
Chris

I leave all my smog stuff alone. Safer that way. I love driving my vette. Don't need any problems.

The check valves will do or you can have em cut off and caps welded on.

I can understand, but I don't live in the smog **** state of california. I can get away with a little more than you guys can. I don't want to remove all the stuff, just a lot of the hoses and that black box that makes it a pain to work on the car.
