I did NOT remove the airpump.
The metal hose from the air pump is attached to another metal hose, and both are attached to the back of intake manifold. I was able to loosen some bolts there to get those hoses loose enough for me to get the y-pipe in. Took me about an hour to figure out, but that was still quicker than taking the air pump off (for me at least). I also removed that rubber coupler, but after loosening those bolts I probably could have left it on.
The two metal hoses I'm talking about are shown here:

Well, I guess for me it was quicker because I have not yet removed the air pump, so I avoided that particular learning curve.
(If it was that easy, then why didn't HobbeZ just remove it instead of posting this question?)
I'm just trying to help out, that's all.
