Smog pump delete 1986

Hi all,
I decided to delete my smog pump and associated lines. My question is, on the air diverter valve there is 2 plugs (pics attached).

When I unplug these the car won't start and it throws a code. I have not read the code, but I figured someone has encountered a similar problem. What do I need to do with these two wire plugs?

Unplugging the diverted valve has no effect on codes throwing or starting.
You must have a wiring issue that's being disturbed when the diverted wires are moved.

What else is tied in with these? So I can start tracing.

Iirc the wires run next to fusible link wires that route over the front of the engine down to the starter hot lug.
