Default AIR delete... air box plug?

I'm about to put headers on my 04 Z and I plan on deleting the AIR system while its off. Does anybody know a part number to a plug/block off for the hose that plugs into the air box? I'm putting a vararam on the car at the same time and I don't want to just put a vacumm cap over the L fitting I'd rather have a cleaner look.

By "air box" do you mean intake manifold?

There are block-off kits for the intake manifold and for the exhaust manifolds. I'm not sure if any of the vendors on here sell one; I bought a kit off ebay.

I'm talking about the housing the actual air filter sits in. The hose coming off of it on the drivers side I'll be removing and I want to cap the hole.

I used a rubber stopper from lowes. Duct tape would even work

If you did not get the Vararam unit yet call me at 713-477-8100

Vararam
how much for just the box without the hole?
I have mine plugged up from the inside but it would look better with no hose outlet.

I had to plug this hole on my Callaway Honker when I removed my air pump system. I looked around my stock of useless junk and couldn't come up with the right size good looking plug. And then it hit me. I had a quart of Castro Edge synthetic oil and the cap looked to be the right size and texture. I cut the threaded part of the cap off so that I had a flat piece remaining of the cap. I sanded the edges smooth and used some RTV adhesive and glued it on. It works perfectly and looks like it belongs there. Totally unnoticeable, and it works.
