Hey everyone!

I am new to this site, but I have heard from lots of people that you know what you are talking about. I have decided to rebuild my 1988 Chevy k1500 truck, mostly for it to tow better. The engine is a 5.7L 350. It has the A.I.R. (air injector reactor) on the exhaust. I was wondering if it is ok to remove the A.I.R. system completly from the exhaust? I am putting headers on the truck and I do not have the ones with the A.I.R. adapter because they were more expensive. Would it be better to just drill into each tube of the headers and add a tude for the A.I.R. or will removing everything still allow the truck to run? I am changing the whole exhaust and upgrading the catalytic converter to help with emissions. Thank you for your time.

Thanks. Would it cause any problems with the computer though, and I would get an engine light?

i would think that it shouldent cuse to many problems ifits done like the factory. you could phone a local mufler shop and ask if they have ever done anything like what you want to do ands see what they have to say about it. hope that helps a bit.
