12A AirPumps?

Can they be completely removed without messing up the way the engine runs.....im trying to stripdown and run the engine without emissions.
the pump seems like extra drag and weight.

Without the air pump, the cat will soon plug up. If you have no emission regs, remove all 3 cats and go with headers.

Welcome to the forum. In my sig line are links to some 'light' reading, the online FSMs, etc..

Go the the Sticky thread at the top of the 1st gen section, find the one that says FAQs. You will find a full page of links and info.

So they told me my 84 gs was Texas "emissions exempt". Does that mean I can remove emissions system and still be street legal? Just does not have to be a smoker right?
