2K Bogging update - Aux Air Valve Question

[Cory_Langford at bcit.ca (Cory Langford)]

I think I may have tracked down the culprit for my leaning out at 2K.   I 
was just going over some of the connections looking once again for a vac 
leak when I happen to move the tube that goes from the TB to the Aux Air 
valve.  I noticed that when pushed a certain way it hisses when released 
it does not. 

It looks like the small piece of rubber that connects the tube to the Aux 
air valve probably has a crack in it. I did the typical Canadian fix and 
duct taped it :)   Car runs much better this morning.  On the way to work, 
it still stutters occasionally, but not nearly as bad as before.  So this 
weekend I am going to pull off the tube and redo the connections to see if 
it helps.

QUESTION:

has anyone actually removed this system from their car?   I know on the 
newer digi cars you can remove the ISV and still have a decent idling car 
(around here we don't really have a need for the ISV as the temps don't 
swing that much).  It will idle a little rough for a few minutes but it is 
acceptable.  A common thing on the G60s up here (rather than a reroute).

So I was wondering how the CIS system would handle not having the valve to 
stabilize the idle.  Anyone tried it?  I thought I might, but I don't want 
to go down that road and have to put it all back together again if someone 
else has already figured out that removal of the aux air valve will make 
the car undrivable.

TIA
