Default Air injection pump question.....

Anyone have a diagram of this system, been searching google for an hour. It's missing parts and 2 connectors are just hanging there. I'll post pics if that helps. Wonder why someone would remove these items, what does this system do? what effects would it have on the motor?

The air pump injects air into the exhaust so the catalectic converter will burn hotter and give you better emissions. These missing parts will not hurt anything but your emission. I am getting ready to remove my whole air system because I am installing headers. What part do you need I sell them right

The cat converter is most efficient once it heats up. Injecting air on a cold engine/exhaust helps to heat up the cat faster. Once the engine hits a certain temperature, the pump is switched off. It has no effect on the engine, only cold engine cat performance.

Cool thanks, Guess I'll leave it. The exhaust leak kinda gets on my nerves.
