Yes, if you like oil, as in like consuming it you should go see a doctor immediately

W/ an infini if you remove your air pump/smog pump it will no longer activate your 5/6th ports and VDI, you would need to electronically activate those. You would need to remove your catalytic convert, acv, egr and that's about it. You may wnat to consider getting a double alternator pulley.

If oil leak is minor down the front cover or small drips off of the pan I wouldn't worry. Just make sure your oil level stays consistant.

What year and is it NA or turbo? 5th and 6th ports are for the NA. the double belt pulley is mainly use to reduce belt slippage when removing the air pump. And no, removing the air pump and AC junk won't keep your car from leaking oil, just makes it easier to pull the motor and rebuild it.

you will loose HP disconnecting the air pump, as the air pump feeds the VDI and Aux port solenoids.

If you have removed the ACV you will need some sort of an adapter to feed from the air pump to the solenoids.

And the air pump robs only 1% of the power.

But non functioning VDI and Aux ports robs about 25-30% peak power.
