Hi Lyle,Yep, you can remove it and the car will work just fine without it. You could maybe even make a couple bucks if you wanted to sell it to someone that is doing a complete resto.

Thanks for your reply Steve! So can I just remove it and not use it? It's there, but I'd rather not use it if it won't hurt anything. I'm running nitrous and a different carb so I'm not doing a concourse restoration anyway. Thanks, Lyle --- Stevan Miner <miner@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Lyle, Chrysler installed air pumps on some of their engines for emission control issues. Basically the air pump is used to inject air into the combustion chamber to help the combustion burn process and thus lower emissions, it also helps cool the combustion chamber so that a leaner (better mileage) air /fuel mixture could be used. There were a lot of them removed back then and it's hard to find the right stuff when restoring a car back to original.
