Reinstall air pump without solenoids?

i have done some searching but not sure of outcome, recently went non seq, removed air pump & all solenoids, installed resistors in place of solenoids, now without air pump rough idle, no pfc yet, so question is if i reinstall air pump, plug it back in & reconnect hoses, do i need to reconnect any solenoids? or just hooking it back up to the acv will work? i'm sure it's not that easy just curious if anyboby's done this, just need to idle properly until parked for the season, maybe 2 months at best, then pfc etc. i know it ran way better with air pump installed, just rich at idle now

Just increase the idle to around 1000-1100 rpms. It will be smooth until you get a PFC.

To make it work like before, you'll have to install the ACV and it's related solenoids. That's the only place air gets injected before the O2 sensor (which is what is causing the idle to be rich since the air is not there). Simply just putting solenoids back without the ACV will not help as its the O2 feedback which you are after.
