If you don't want to remove your air pump (if you have to smog), then you can just buy a small breather filter for that hose. You can pick one up at most car parts stores.

The hose coming off the back goes to the ACV which feeds air to the cat. If you're gutting your cats then there is no purpose in this at all! You should block off the ACV at the same time as removing the airpump, but yes all it is is taking it off. Not hard at all.

do you have to block off the ACV when you remove the air pump? sorry for the noob question but i havent looked too much into the emmisions stuff.
also when you remove it and the AC what size belts do you get?

Well IIRC the ACV dumps a small amount of the air it receives from the airpump into the intake manifold at times, but if there is no airpump and the ACV is still open to the atmosphere I'd think that would be bad. Unless you unplugged the ACV switching solenoid, not 100% on this.

ok, that sorta answers my question. what i should have asked is besides the hoses that go to the cat and stock air box, does the airpump have any other openings.

ok, i just looked in the FSM and all i could see are the connections to the stock air box, cat and acv. if you removed it could you just cap the connection to the ACV and be fine?

lol, youd be surprised at how many socks are found in 944s... and i have a filter on there now, but if i dont need the airpump id rather remove it.
if you remove the airpump and havent gutted the cats what will happen?
