Removing air pump and hoses?!

Does anyone know if its a good idea to remove the air pump and hoses that plug into the exhaust? also block the egr? Is this good to do or not recomended? I have MAC headers and i have the air hoses open right now, i bought them used and they already had the connections blocked off(welded shut). Help

It doesn't hurt, but you won't gain anything performance wise.

Hey camaroboy which part # did you order. Or do you got to order all three to do the complete block off? He has intake manifold kit, egr tube kit, and the intake and header kit.

I got a block off plate from GM and then I took the tube off the manifold ripped the pipe out of it and made a gasket out of high temp gasket material and used the plate I ripped the pipe out of as my block off (solid gasket between it and the manifold) works great.
