There is usually an air tube sticking out of the cat that runs up to the ACV. You can run a heater hose or similar rubber hose from the air output of the air pump to the air tube on the cat.

You know, that's what I'm going to do on my engine.

if your having to bypass the ACV it means that your ACV is bad, because this valve pumps fresh air into your exaust.

or better yet!!!

Hide a leaf blower in your engine somewhere and attach it in line with your exhaust (make sure the leaf blower has fresh air source)...when they see your emmisions are almost all air...well lol, you might get arrested or put under inspection, but you passed your emmisions!
