Thanks for the info. My memory is getting worse... You ate correct as the 79s don't have a air pump. I will have to weld each of those lines closed or make up some threaded plugs to block those off. I haven't looked close enough but doesn't the tubes go into the exhaust manifolds not tye heads?
If they go into the manifolds it may not matter as I will probably be swapping those out for something else to pipe the turbo.
If my memory is correct the air pump lines go to the front of the engines cylinder heads. You could run it the way it is as the pump draws almost no power. But it does take space and adds to a cluttered look. You may be able to find freeze plugs you could pound in. I don’t really know what the openings look like.
