Air pump removal question...

Hi folks. I have an 86 F-150 4x4 with a 302 that I use strictly for work. That means hauling stuff around the "farm" so to speak. Can I remove the air pump(smog) from the endine without ant problems? Will the fuel injection computer still function ok?
I would really like to remove it if I can and plug or cap off all associated lines invloved.
Can I do this and still expect the engine to run ok?
The truck has 203K miles on it.
Richard

Yes, it will run ok. Why do you want to remove it? Is it bad?

I don't think it's bad......but it is in the way of changing the front plug on the passenger side of the truck.
Thanks for the reply sir!

No problem. You can remove it if you want to. It may throw a check engine light if you unhook the tubing and wiring from the valves, but it won't hurt anything.
