Default Air Injection

I have a Maggie with AR headers and I would like to remove the Air Injection tubing that connects the headers together that also runs behind the motor to make changing plugs easier. Can this be done without removing the blower ?

Thanks >>>>> INTHERED

I haven't removed my AIR system yet, but it is my understanding that the intake manifold (in your case the Maggie) must be removed in order to gain access to the "AIR system Bank 2" check valve. This check valve, which prevents exhaust gases from traveling back down to the AIR pump (located underneath of the driver's side headlight) is located between the intake manifold and the firewall.

My entire AIR system has been removed for quite some time now. There are no problems what-so-ever. You do have to get the code programmed out of your computer though. But its a very minor thing.
