Default AWE AFM Valve Simulators

So I just ordered the AWE axle back exhaust for my 2016 z51. I don't believe the package is going to include the Valve Simulators. The shipping information is telling me that it should arrive tomorrow. So I quickly ordered the Valve Simulators however they are from a different company. They likely are not going to arrive at the same time. I know that installing the exhaust without the Valve Simulators can cause a check engine light. My question would be that if I install without the Simulators until they arrive will that cause any other issues or when they arrive can I just install them and clear the codes with my scanner?

You can install the simulators after.

You can only clear the code with a deep scanner like GM's GDS2 or a similar tool . Run of the mill code scanners will not clear the code

so if you have an emissions check (test) don’t run it until the simulators are installed

It's much easier to place the actuators with simulators attached when the exhaust is out of the way. Sure it's possible to install after, but I'm not seeing a reason to do it in your case, only to get the exhaust on a day or two earlier.
