what are your thoughts on removing AIR pump?

when i swap out my 2.8 for a 3.4, i was thinking of removing it. i know what it does, but how bad will it be if i dont have it on there? i dont have to worry about any testing, im in michigan.

Removed mine, so I'd have someplace to run the turbo downpipe.

No negatives to it. Just yank the cat out, as well. And get the pipe plug fittings after you pull the AIR pipes that run into the manifold.

id have to take the cat out because w/o the air pump, the emissions wont be burned as well and rot it out right? i just replaced it w/ a high flow convertor less than a year ago. just wanna make sure ive got this right, im used to working on dodges, very few have AIR pumps.
