questions about exhaust install and air pump removal

I just put on a RB head and test pipe so my cat is gone. Also found that somebody previously busted my air pump bracket so i removed that. I do not have a block off plate so i was wondering what needs to be plugged as far as that is concerned (i have 5th and 6th stuck open for the time being as well since the air pump is gone). The only other question i have is there is the air injection pipe going to the cat, can i just pulled the metal pipe off or do i need to cap off that hose as well? thanks for all the help

You can remove the split air pipe and just leave the connection at the LIM unplugged. Without an airpump, nothing will be going through there. You can remove the ACV and cap the lines that run to it.

Is this an S4 or S5? You should specify since S5s will also lose VDI actuation with the air pump removed.

PM sent. I do plan on putting the pump back on just because it actuates the 5th and 6th ports. Just working with a temp solution so i can drive the car around a little in the mean time and i dont want to suck anything bad into the engine lol
