If you have correctly blocked off the AIR connections, the AIR Stop Valve Solenoid can be removed. It isn't serving any purpose at that point. Don't forget to cap the vacuum connection on the side of the intake manifold.

what do u mean "If you have correctly blocked off the AIR connections" i capped off the intake manifold on the side and took the air pump off, but just cut the wires on the air pump and left the 2 plugs plugged up, one plugged from pcm, other plug to air silenoid (they plug into each other) do i not do that or take it off?

What did you doo about the AIR pipe connections at the exhaust manifolds? Or are you running headers without connections - without basic info about the mods to the car, you are making it almost impossible for us to help you, which may explain why I'm the only one trying. And, I suggested you not cut wires in the other thread - but you ignored me.

What did you do about the air supply connection on the air intake ducting? Did you remove the pipes and check valves? What connection did you cap off on the intake manifold? Sound like you are mixing the AIR and EGR systems together, and that's just confusing things even more.

Ok I got race style headers ok, I removed the egr and put block off plates on the mack of intake on both spots! I left the egr sileniod and left the clip in it and pluuged the intake with a vacumm cap! Then I removed the air pump and all rubber hoses and cut the metal pipe that goes around the bottom of the motor! Ok the is some wires that come from the driver side and has a male plug on it, that plugs into a female plug that goes to a silenoid on the front of the engine by the throttle body, well that male and female plug are plugged in one another and Clipped to the bottom of the air pump and 2 wires are coming off the female plug and going into the air pump (a red wire and black wire)!! I cut both of the wired and removed the air pump and left the plugs plugged together!! So what else do I need to do? Can I remove the silenoid those go to and remove the female end of the plug? .... If that confuses u just tell me what I need to take off to do an aire delete!!
