installed headers and a quick question

as you know there is a split air tube that goes to each side of each port.... i am no longer going to have working ports because of the exhaust so im wiring them open until i can remove the sleeves and insert pinneaple racing sleeves..... can i just remove these banjo bolts and lines and put a bolt back into the sides to seal it up... and also the huge tube that goes to the last cat with a valve on it.... what do i do with that line on the block? cap it or just leave it open? thanks in advance

The split air line (tube that goes to the cat) can just be left alone, it doesn't need to be capped off-- its just the air from the air pump when it ***** into the catalyic-converter.

You'll get sick of no low end with those ports wired open. I had my VDI and ports wired open and I ended up closing them just for streetablility. Having nil low end makes city driving the biggest pain in the ***.

I take it you finanly got your idle issues resolved from last winter, eh?
