S70 SAS delete

Hi all, hope everyone is well and keeping busy. I'm finally catching up on some overdue maintenance issues on my 98 S70 among other things. The SAS pump has been bad for a number of years and throws a code every now and then when it tries to activate. Upon inspection all the mounts for the pump have broken off and its hanging rather precariously. I am of the opinion that I should delete as many of the failed physical components but I don't think I am going to worry about the diode procedure as I don't have the parts right now. I've found a few posts on here and on volvospeed that detail the components to be removed (not the relay and the solenoid) but will I run into any issues other than the CEL if I do this? I don't really care about the CEL as it is almost always on due to an EVAP leak that I can't be bothered to sort out.

You just need to cap,off the manifold port so you don’t have a deadly exhaust leak

Yep, I read that it is the same thread size as the oil pan drain ... I think I have a spare somewhere
