Without a PFC I think you might have some trouble with the idle, loping or stalling, and you have some risk of plugging up your cat over time.

EDIT: Neither of these things seems to be universal from car to car. Some report no problems at all, while others have alot of problems.

a removal that snowballs..

youll need plates to block off the offending ports as soon as you remove emissions..

might as well remove the system entirely if your ditchin the pump..

youll need a new belt and pullies for your alt and water pump as well...

AFAIK, no, it shouldn't make it run rich. If your opening up the intake and not running a cat, do you have a good boost controller? I think there's a bigger danger of running too lean.
