question about removing exhaust air pump??

[mpj76]

Keep your O2 sensors hooked up. Trash the rest. It didn't make my engine run any better or worse. Mileage was the same too. Engine light did not come one. I did it because the bearings in my pump went out. If you're lazy like me, cap off the A.I.R. tube (ugly rusty tube coming out the back of the heads) with a bypass cap. You don't even have to clamp it because it's a tight fit. If you remove the A.I.R. tube, you'll need to plug the two holes with bolts. Keep in mind that your cats will become fouled up (if you still have them).
