Okay to run without A.I.R. stuff?

I'm in a "troubleshooting" stage with my car, so I took all of the smog stuff off of the car temporarily (the solenoid and the rest of the tubing connected immediately to it). I'm too lazy to put all of that stuff back on again (until I'm done troubleshooting--'cause I'll probably have to take it right off again and again), and since I'm too cheap to buy a new belt, I have left the A.I.R. pump in.

I'm really just trying to do the initial breakin on my L98, so I wouldn't be off permanently... would I hurt anything by doing this? Is there anything that I need to plug?

Nope. Yank it all out. Plug the holes in the manifolds with 1/4 pipe plugs.
