It's on the front of the engine, I removed mine from up top, but it's just as easy to get under the car to do it

From the top, you might be able to get to the electrical connector that is in the right hand side of that pic.

Some more views here.

The tube that comes from your cai or airbox goes directly into the airpump. 3 bolts take it out and then 1 more bolt for the electrical connection up a little higher. You will also need to cap your manifolds and take out the long pipe that goes over and connects to the passenger side manifold. You will also need a vacuum cap for the cai or airbox.....I used a 3/4 inch cap.

Yea I dont think anything bad will happen other than the check engine light. Yesterday I was bored and I took out my air pump leaving the egr on and the pipe that goes over to the pass. side blocking the manifolds and cai of course. I'm gonna take the egr and pipe out next week when I get some time, but so far I havent even thrown a code.

only asking because its too late to go out and mess with the car, but do you have to route the belt different to bypass the air pump or does it require a smaller belt?
