I have this part in my engine bay I want to remove so I can re-route some more hoses. I think it's for heating/cooling or maybe just the heating alone. I've looked online and in my car book but so far I've been unable to find any info.

Here's a picture of it circled. Please let me know what it is guys, thank you.

A.I.R. diverter valve

 

emissions equipment, air valve, diverter valve

 

Thanks guys for the answers. I was looking some more in my book and came across what part it was incidentally. How funny life is sometimes, lol.

 

question when i had my headers installed the guy took the belt off of the A.I.R pulley, if that is the case can i remove the above circled items as well ???

 

i didnt know they had a cover on them!!!!!

 

The pic shows the belt still on the air pulley. I would make sure you can pass emissions without that stuff before I removed it.

 

Yep. It won't be doing anything if the pulley is bypassed.
