Help!!! Smog hose removal

Okay so I have been searching for a really long time! I am going to install some headers on my 86 iroc with the tbi. The header that I have do not allow me to run my snag system because there is no air tubes that go in the headers. All I want is to be able to remove the hoses for the AIR system so I can put my headers in. I DO NOT want to go through the trouble right now of removing the pump, or the belt. My concern is not to bypass the pulley just to get those hoses out.

I DO want to keep the tubes and everything because my car is ALL original apart from ac compressor. I need somebody to show/tell me how to get rid of the tubes and hoses in my car so I can run my headers. Also I did find that if you don't remove the electric components of the smog pump there is no check engine, and that is also very important to me as well.

You can't just remove the hoses IIRC, they will be in the way. removing the pump and rerouting the belt takes all of about 45 minutes. You dont get a check engine light at all even if you completely remove everything smog related.
