Although its not required, I bent the stock air pump bracket back so it was flush against the inner passenger wall
of the engine compartment. If the engine ground wasn't attached, I would have just cut it completely out. I did have
to install a new engine ground wire so it would not interfere with the intake pipe.
You can see how much more room I now have on the passenger side of the engine with the air pump bracket bent
out of the way. You can see the SC on the bottom right of pic. Also decided to order a 2.5" diameter flexible rubber
hose to run from the SC out port to the top of the engine compartment. The hose that came with the kit just won't
fit without a major fold in the hose.
