1. my cars have all been carbed so no idea on the intake

2. the hose to the air pump proly an air source air for the pump. you probably need it to draw air, clean may not be a priority tho.

3. You shouldn't disable the air pump because 1. It says not to on it. 2. Your emmisions will suffer. 3. Your cat will not be getting any air and may fail or collapse.
If you have no cat, go ahead, take it off, remove the pump too cos its heavy. Everyone else has.

4. If you a/c works keep it because a/c kicks ***. The heater uses a heater core under the dash (or similar) which is full of hot engine coolant. An electric fan blows air over this to give you heat.
