You can remove the valve on the manifold, but it leaves a hole. You can get a plate welded over it.

What does the sai pump do? And will it effect how the engine runs if its taken out? I would take mine out if it does bugger all!

you can take them out as they are just a little pump that warms up the cat quicker so u get better emissions but they are not needed in this country and it doesnt effect the engine and you shouldnt have an engine light come on

It pumps air into the exhaust to warm the cat up so it lowers the emissions.

Mine passed 2 MOT's without it.
