I have an '85 GS with a 12A. I am doing some other work under the hood, and I wanted some input about the airpump. I would like to remove it, but I am not sure what it effects. I am not concerned about the emissions (no inspection required in Georgia). Can I just remove it? or are there other things that need to be done? What does the hose connect to? what do you do with the hole where the hose connects? Any other considerations?

 

If you remove the air pump, you need to also remove the catalytic converters... which means get headers!
Use the search function, there are lots of threads on air pumps, rats nests, and emissions.
