I'm not very familiar with 94's, but what I'd suggest is find out what hoses are leading where and then see what you can do about rerouting them. If you bought it used then it's possible someone replaced them and didn't bother to route them the way they were originally.
As for the air pump, it depends. If you don't have a cat then it's not doing you any good, but if you have emissions inspections in your state then I'd leave it there for appearances. You can gut the pump and keep the shell so it's there for appearances but also so you don't have to hassle with finding a different belt.

I don't know why every so often someone wants to "clean up" the engine bay, by removing components. I say just leave it alone.
Now, if what DBGrif said is the case the definitely reroute things to the proper location.

Yeah, I see it the same way. Besides the attempted clean up could cause problems anyway.

I completely understand the whole car/truck show comment. I take my Mustang to those type of things. I just don't think I would remove all that stuff from a truck that is running good. Most of the time it causes problems.
