OH port air solenoid removal?

Hey guys been building my 91 rx7 13b na. Found out the upper injectors were clogged and the leading coil pack is bad. So i figured while i had the intake manifold off id remove somethings that are not needed. From doing some reading the port air solenoid is one of them. If anyone has or knows of a link of a step by step guide on what all i need to do to remove it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. David

Port air solenoid or the entire ACV?

Next question, mind a check engine light?

The ECU doesn't know if cats are present or not, so removing them will not trigger a MIL.

Just unplug it. It's at the top of the engine. Port air MIL light should only be at idle. It will go off once you start moving.
