Smog system modification
The pipe that goes down from the AIR switch to the cat broke off right at the side of the cat. I am going to get a cat without one and just slowly remove the smog pump. For right now I'm going to use an elbow where the T junction used to be, and the smog pump and air diverter valve will just be sitting there pumping out just plain air I guess.
Two Questions:
1. Will the AIR pump and diverter valve continue to work the same way without the exhaust and still pump just regular clean air?
2. Can I use this extra air pressure for some beneficial reason. I was reading about the PCV valves being used to filter out gasses that could contaminate oil. I was wondering how this system would behave if extra air was pumped in one side to force air out the other. Just an idea. Any info is appreciated.

You will hear a humming without the pipe hooked up
