yes...86-88's do not need the airpump for 6-port actuation. Although without the airpump, your cats will clog. One less pulley to steal precious rwhp. Plus you are removing weight of course. You don't need the O2 sensor, although will run a little rich without it, and get worse gas mileage...just check your plugs often if you don't have an O2 sensor. I drove around without one for a while and didn't have any problems.

So how would I Get my ports to work on my 89. They are different than 86-88. What if I take the 5 and 6 port sleeves out entirely will my other low ports still work. I have heard this before but never get definate answer.
