Underdriver pulleys?

I just picked up a set of GReddy underdrive pulleys tonight. I know that this will disable the air pump. Can I just unplug the pump and leave it in ther for the time being? I have also heard that this may cause some problems at idle, if so what can be done to correct them?

Thanks

do you get a check engine light or anything like that when you remove the air pump?

It will clog your main cat because the AIR pump provides the AIR that the CAT needs to Operate Properly.
