Now no cat with a couple questions??? Help

Well I have a 85 Iroc. I recently couple weeks ago finely put my 2 3/4 flowmaster on cat back and while i was in the process I pulled the cat and put on a straight pipe. The exhaust sounds great, flows great, has good back pressure and there is a noticable difference in excelleration. My question is what are people doing with the tube that goes from the cat to the engine area? Is it for the smog or what? What should I do with it? Plug it, leave it open, or find some kind of filter to put on? Not really sure what I should do with it so anybody with an idea would be great.

Also anybody know where to look in trying to fix the washer fluid system as it wont spray and I dont know why. Should I just pull the bottle (as its basically full of washer) to ditch the weight or is there a way to make to work? Have never driven a camaro that it works on and Ive had 7 so anybody know the common problem?

Also will I be able to pull my smog pump and so forth with no issues to get the belt and weight off?? Anybody know if there might be a noticable difference, As i have the pre serpentene setup? What do people do with the wiring? Will I have check engine light issues or anything? Also any decrease in gas milage at all.

Thanks alot guys
Brian

You can just leave it. All that's coming out of it is air.

Blow through the washer tubes backwards to make sure they arent plugged. Listen for the pump running when try to spray. If not its time to break out the test light and do some tracing.
