You can use it, or not.

If you remove the air pump, do those tubes come with them? Do you throw any codes by not having those tubes?
I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to help an anti-Busher.....
Okie, the AIR/EGR system for these purposes are basically one in the same. You can completly remove these systems as long as you do a few things: 1. Get custom tuning to remove these systems from the computer or you will throw a code, 2. Get the nessesary block off plates for the rear of the intake manifold, 3. Either get a set of Longtube headers without the provisions i.e. Hooker 2151's or put in a plug in the manifolds i.e. m-22 oil drain plugs will fit from napa.
BTW: This will make your car less efficient for environmental purposes. Since you are a Kerry Supporter you may want to think about that.

when you take off the Egr/Air make sure you plug the hole where the tube came from on the air intake shroud. i wrapped it with alot of tape. www.tpis.com sells the rear block off plate thats where i got mine.
just take the whole thing out its a piece of junk!
i had to cut mine out to places i couldnt reach with a ratchet
