Default Can I Just Remove The Airpump?

I have removed the cats from my headers so can I just completely remove my airpump out of the car now?

Who has done this? Saw it the other day when I removed my headlights and thought I could unplug it and remove it and cap off the spot for it on my vararam.

Thanks it advance

As long as the codes are deleted, you'll have no problems just removing it. If you remove all the AIR tubing don't forget to block off the hole at the header.

or you could make the plates; ALSO be sure to block off the vacuum hose that goes to the air pump, small 1/8 plastic line, draws from a distro block near the pcm which pulls from the back of the intake manifold(2000 and newer ONLY)

And delete the airpump in the tune, otherwise code-ville.

http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=7&pcid=54 makes a set of blockoffs out of stainless steel. I bought mine there along with new gaskets.
