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

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.
