[C&C Chevy]

I'm replacing my drive belts and was thinking about just leaving off the air pump belt for now and maybe removing the pump later. The question is that I have TBI, so will removing the belt for the air pump hurt the engine or performance? I'm not really worried about emissions right now. Will it hurrt cold start-ups? Anyone doen this on an 87 TBI and not have any computer problems? Thanks!

Also. I took the top part of the fan shroud off. It was held together ( to the bottam half of the shroud) by a couple of big staples. They look factory, but I was wondering if you guys have a better way to attach them together.
