Hello everyone I have started doing the Gt40 heads and cobra intake swap on my 88Gt. I'll probably have more questions but for now does anyone know what to do about the air injection pipes that bolt on the rear of the stock heads? This is a California car and I have to keep the smog pump.

I still have the pipe but the GT40 heads do not have the air holes in them

The only gt40's with a smog ports were the gt40's off a lightning or cobra. You may be able to rig it to make it look it's functional my friend did it, but they really don't check under the hood for emissions were I live. It's pretty much a sniffer test here.
