Anyone have some ideas on removing the Air Pump and it's related tubing, hoses, etc.?

I repaired my right exhaust manifold to exhaust connection today which quieted things down enough for me to hear a leak on the driver's side. Turns out is a broken tube on the "air rail" that goes into the left exhaust manifold coming in from the air pump.

I'm planning a header installation soon so can I just remove the "rail" on both side and just cap the inlets for now. I would also remove everything else related to the air pump system.

Any thoughts, suggestions, warnings, advice?

On an unrelated note...finally completed the replacements of all u joints and both carriers bearings today and ALL of my driving vibrations are gone! Yipee!
