The simulators will take care of the SES light for the rear 02 sensors. What was the reason for the air pump being disconnected?

i bought it like that because the guy didnt have to pass emmissions and i have long tube headers and they have block off plates on them so i think the guy jus didnt feel like doin it i dunno. but i dont have cats and i was wonderin if i got the hose to connect the air pump if it would work?

I would make sure the air pump itself has the electrical connector in place and install the hose as well. Its hard to tell exactly what the previous owner did to it. It also wouldn't hurt to have the car scanned for codes and see exactly what AIR pump code you are getting.
