You will get a CEL for secondary air system malfunction. It's purpose is to pump air into the cat for a quicker light off and lower emissions.

A simple plate to block off the feed location on the manifold/downpipe will let you start yanking all that stuff off. CEL aside unless you have the AP. The air pump has always been an eye sore in the engine bay. haha.

So is the vacuum chamber, the oil filler, etc... ill get to it eventually...

It's techflex. They have many many many kinds, but the one I have on my harness is Flexo FR (flame retardant). I also have the regular PET sleeves for small jobs.
