One Busted Tube on F2 Air Injection Manifold

The #3 tube that runs from the Air Injection Manifold to the Exhaust Manifold is broken. Can I simply block off this one port? 1983 FJ60 with the F2..all original.

Do you need smog?

I do, I picked up new tubing and after a bunch of bending attempts, brazed in a replacement today. Thanks for the quick response. Would blocking off one port make that much of a difference for the cat?

i doubt it would make any difference. it is just the physical process of pumping air into the exhaust. there is no feed back or sensers to monitor it.

It just puts air into the exhaust to burn unburned fuel in the exhaust manifold. I don't think 1 would make much difference but the smog police wouldn't like 1 blanked off.
