Should I reconnect it? It's been disconnected since I got the car. The car currently does run and drive reliably as well.

Oh man, what started out as buying some gaskets around the tail lights has turned into something way deeper.
I just got home and inspected the air pump and its completely seized, cannot budge it a single bit, is it toast? There is a replacement pump on rockauto I could purchase but I fear if i begin taking things apart I'll run into more problems rather than fixing the problems.
Should I ignore the air pump and attempt to remove the thermal reactor and replace the exhaust manifold? or remove the TR and cap it off? I've seen some discussion on both scenarios in the forums, but I'd love to hear further thoughts on it. I like driving the car more than tinkering with it.
