The airpump is used to feed air into the catalytic convertor. Alot of people remove it when they take out the main cat. Dont remove it if you plan on keeping the cat or you need to pass emissions.
Easy way is to buy the Greddy pulley set. Comes with 2 pulleys and the belt to bypass the airpump.

I dotn know about 3rd gens, but the Airpump does more that jsut suply air tot he cats on 2nd gens.

It send air into the intake system, and it also activates some valves.

I suggest yhou post this int he 3rd gen section so you could get a more defined answer.
