I'm just a beginner with rotaries & need some help. I want to remove my air pump what do i do with the hose from the air pump to engine, do i just plug it. And what else do i have to do other then just take off the pump. Thanks Tony

plug the tubes, remove the pump , and the bracket and belt. thats the basic removal,., after that there is the ACV, air muffller, Egr, Split air tube. alot of stuff that has to do with the air pump.

What is this stuff, and does this stuff do.

The air pump feeds the ACV.
ACV is the Air Control Valve
EGR is the exhaust gas recuirculation
Split air tube feeds air from the ACV into the ca.

ACV blocked off.

I removed the air pump, bracket, and obviously the belt. Then removed the 3 nuts holding the acv. Blocked off the little metal vacuum lines. Split air pipe should also be blocked off since its now useless. EGR in not directly connected but it is also now useless. 2 nuts and one blocked off vacuum line.

remember you do not want to remove the airpump if you are running with cats. The stock cats will overheat and melt without the air pump.

So Im just checking to see if im right on all this If I get a downpipe and cat replacement pipe I will be able to take off my air pump, EGR, ACV, and split airpipe with no problems everything should work as normal????

HAILERS

They forgot to tell you that with the airpump off, the water pump belt will now slip at high rpms and you'll need to remedy this slight problem.
