    So I thought the Reed vavle SAS was a erg so I deleted it

I don't know much about this system but I don't want to burn. It.down

    If you’ve installed a Weber, the reed valve no longer functions so it can be removed. Some Weber kits come with caps and plugs used to delete the SAS components. Removal shouldn’t have any adverse effect on the truck.

    As you said, all the secondary-air/reed-valve setup does is supply fresh air to the exhaust stream to help any residual unburned hydrocarbons finish combusting, so the only effect of deleting it is your exhaust will be a bit dirtier, should not affect running/driving at all.

    Yeah, with a Weber swap you can remove the control box on the driver's side inner fender and all vac hoses connected to it. That will also leave a few threaded bolt holes on the inner fender, which you could use to mount a relay for an electric fuel pump.
