Default AIR pump removal

Hi folks,

Removing the AIR pump on my offroad Corvette. Some of the plumbing runs behind the motor. Does it just cross over from one side to the other, or does it feed into anything back there? Also, what's it held in place by? Seems kind of hard to pull out from one side.

Any tips on how to get the piping completely out from behind the motor?

It has a long black tube that goes to the driver side area, then it T's off and goes to the passenger side into the air pipe on the header.

How much do you want for it. I know somebody who needs one for a project.

it is bolted to the back of the driver side head. Kinda a pain in the butt to get to but not impossible. After you get that bolt out just pull it out.

Do you know the size of the bolt? If I could slip a gear wrench in there with the proper size the job would be much easier...

Default air tube

13mm head on bolt. The hole is slotted so you just have to loosen it.
