You'd cap the air line on the cat. Mine is welded shut (used Cat). I probably have to get it to work for smog time in Feb.

Doesn't plugging the line to the cat cause the cat to hit up and do bad bad things.

smog pump to cat

Running a hose or line from the smog pump directly to the cat, would that still serve the same purpose as all the hoses from the manifolds to the cat. Wouldn`t doing that would still keep the smog pump and still clean up all the hoses?
