Air fitting on headers?

I recently bought and installed some pacesetters with the air fittings. Well, at the time I didn't think about removing the air pump but now I would like to. Has anyone done this? My Question is - What did you use to cap off the air fittings? I can't seem to find any block off type deals for the LT1 style.

If they use the 93-95 style fitting, just go to the parts store and get 2 M22 oil pan drain plugs. That is what I plugged the holes in my Random technology headers with. The 96-97 style use a different AIR tube, but I'm not sure if the hole is the same size or not.

The 96-97s use a "cap" rather than a plug to cap-off the header air inlet ports. I'm sure if you check with one of the hearder mfgrs, they will know the cap size. Also, I'm sure someone here on the forum will know the correct size cap.

Yes, it is a cap I will need. Hey, I stopped in Moore last June when I was coming home from Texas after buying my car. I had a late breakfast at IHOP. I had to stop since the name of your town is my last name!

My home isn't too far from the IHOP you were at, I'm on the East side of I-35.
