Well it all depends on if you have sniffer tests. I had removed all of mine and it did not have any trouble in the stock computer.

so what you guys are saying is that i can take off the air tubes and everything connected to them including the smog pump and the car will still run fine? just so you know, i am not trying to disprove you guys, just making sure i'm sure of what im about to do. do the holes in the manifold get plugged with 1/8"or 1/4"? thanx alot

As long as you take all your smog stuff off at the same time you'll be OK.
