what to do with air pump lines?

I removed the AIR pump and EGR
i'm talking about the black plastic lines that come off the AIR pump and run to the driver side of the manifold and go into a little solenoid, seems like there is one on each side ( the passenger side crosses under the throttle body and meets up with the others at the solenoid on the drivers side) of the intake manifold, how do i go about blocking all this off? I want to get rid of it to clean up the engine a little bit especially since it wont be in use any more!

thanks
Steve

you might need to cut the lines in cirtan places to get all the hoses off. then you will have a hole in each manifold to block off and will need to use the M22 drain plug i think???(sombody correct me if im wrong). you can get those from NAPA, only place i know of off the top of my head.

oops i forgot too mention i will be running Hooker LT's so i dont need to block anything off on the exhaust manifolds!
what I will need to block off is at the Intake manifold, i think these are vacuum lines? that run to solenoids that are connected to the intake manifold on each side almost right in the center of it of each side

The 'solenoid' on the drivers side[vacuum control solenoid] is for the EGR.. that other one[psgr side] is for 'Canister Purge']
Just cap it off with a vacuum cap at the manifold..

when you take off the air pump and EGR, will the car throw any codes? And also, to do the mods, do you just remove them and plug the holes and lines?
