AIr Pump Delete Question
I am in the process of installing TPIS headers on an 88. So far things are going reasonably well. My question concerns the air pump set up. Can I just remove all of the hoses and electrical connections from the air pump and disconnect the whole works, leaving the air pump in place, without setting off all kinds of codes or creating problems. Eventually, I will install the idler pulley and remove the air pump all together, but that is a little ways down the road.

In addition you can "Quiet" you AIR pump (basically gutting it).
There is a tech tip on this page of how to do that

An added bonus to all of this is that water pump changes are now much more simpler, heh, ask me how I know

Thqanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am new to the forum but this is just a super resource for info. I think I am hooked. Hope I can repay the favor sometime.
