remove the pipes & keep them + recirc pump. Another buyer of your car in a state that requires all the pollution factory installed equipment be present. plug the holes

Re: What are these?

The air injection tubes are part of the emission control system . The air pump was belt driven along with all of the other belt driven accessories {alternator power steering ,ect.} , The air pump could force air through the manifolds , the catalytic converter or both to reduce emissions
