You remove the airpump and you still have cats, you will DESTROY the catalytic converter!! It supplies fresh air to the cats, so remove them first then just tkait it out. No block off plates needed, unless you want to go ahead and pull the ACV, then you will need one.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
Rico is right, the cats need the air pump to prevent them from overheating and burning out.
If you pull the cats you will need something like the RB pre-silencer to help create enough back presure to activate the 5th/6th ports.
