1988 Ford Emission Controls Delete

I live in a non emission tested area and want to remove the emission controls mounted to the engine (AIR pump, hoses, and plug the ports on the head) any body know how to do this?

Tree hugging set aside, the emission system is highly integrated w/ the rest of engine function & ECU. I think the tree's will get over it, but I also think you'll regret it.

Almost everybody that get's their truck start's researching the very thing you want to do first thing. Nearly all of those, toss in the towel after learning how integrated it is.
