Not running air on a car meant for it, issues?
Well I was wondering if I remove the air setup on my car, but it was originally equiped with it, would this affect the way it runs? Will the comp think it is now "richer" since there is no air being injected to lean it out? Just a thought, any input appreciated.

I was told it would destroy the cat eventually. Figured it would mess with the a/f ratio a bit also since there is no leaning effect from the air injection

I have no cat so that isnt an issue with me. and removing air will make it a tad richer, thats usually not bad either
