engine light wont come on
if you unplug the pump & remove it, along with the hose to the exhaust manifold, it will be fine
just make sure you bumg up the vacum pipes tho as there is a sensor right next to the pump, if you remove it the EML will come on, but blocking the vacum line tricks it into thinking its still there

Would it still sound like they do at high revs with this removed?
What are advantages of removing it?
