I am swapping in an engine. The junkyard said it was from a car with an air pump but there is no SAS on the exhaust manifold.
Donor car: 98 S70, no SAS.
My car: 96 850, has SAS and air pump.
1.) Can I do this by simply carrying out the SAS delete procedure at the ECU, then eliminate air pump and related hardware?
2.) There is a lot of chatter on here for the S70 delete procedure; does anyone know for sure what needs to be done on the 850?
TIA

OK the definitive post over at VS that everyone is basing their SAS delete on, is for Motronic 4.4:

And the combo of this page:

paired up with this VIN:

says that my car has Motronic 4.4
So SAS delete should work fine, right? Maybe I'll try the delete before I swap in the engine.

Did the SAS delete a week ago, no codes yet. Will start the engine swap this weekend.
