AIR system delete/block plate ??

Hey guys, decided to take out the AIR system. But I have some questions I couldn't find doing a search -

What codes do I need to turn off?
EDIT - Finally found these running a search. Any other codes I need to 'delete?'

P0410
P0412
P0418
P1415
P1416

What thickness stainless steel should I use for the block plate? Where do I get the S.S? I've never bought it before. Do they sell it at Lowes or Home depot?

THANKS!

I got my plates for $13 from I think Speed, Inc. Perfect fit.

What is everyone using to plug the AIR tube hole in the intake?

I don't recall the air tube connecting to the intake manifold....

Sorry, shoulda been more specific. I meant the air filter - the hose that connects on the right side(if standing in front of car looking down at filter) and runs down to the AIR pump.

Gotcha!

I used that hole to feed fresh air to my valve covers when I upgraded to LS2 throttle body and needed a connection. If I were to block it I would look for a rubber or plastic grommit the right size. Otherwise you could cut the hose and look for a plug...but that wouldn't look quite as nice! Maybe others have a better idea..

A $0.59 rubber plug from Home Depot.
