Hi
Advantage :
When you remove the air pump, you can get more power.
Because it has mechanical loss like air conditioner compressor.
Disadvantage :
If you want to remove your air pump, the stock cataliser
must be removed.
You may get a ticket, especially CA is very strict I hear.

NZ- Every post that involves the air pump removal your name is always in the post. In fact you link was to my post! I still havent removed it but I am going to in a couple of weeks.
I just wanted to say thanks again for the pic and explaination it is by far the best that I have gotten.
Gotta love forum!

Just get a double sleeve alternater pulley and run two belts to the alternator, no power loss, but you get twice the contact area on the water pump, therefore less slipping.
