I didn’t have much room to work as you can see.

The AIR pump is located behind the drivers side head lights. In order to get at it I had to take off the air dam and plastic shroud under the car. Once that was done i had all the room i needed. I unhooked the 2 electrical plugs and the one line that runs up to the top of the engine. Then took the 4 bolts out that held the AIR unit to the fuse box and it dropped right out.

(sorry i thought about documenting this AFTER i had pulled the unit out so all you get to see is the big open area it came from.)

Here is the the pump

Here is the hose that ran from the pump to the exhaust manifolds.

I unbolted the AIR pipes on both sides, and separated the drivers side from the T fitting so i could remove it.

Here is what you will need to buy to block off the holes in the manifolds. I picked up the AIR/EGR block off plates from Speed Inc. I reused the bolts and put the block off plates on. It would have been nice if they where thicker, but they seem to do the job.

Once i had the plates on the wiring taped up I decided it would be a good time to fire it up and see if i missed anything or if it leaked.

No more whistle and pumping sounds on startup or idle! I let the vehicle run for a good 15 minutes to see if the block off plates stayed sealed after there was some heat to them. Everything is working and there are no service lights.

Here is everything i pulled off.
