Subject: Removing vacuum pump?

Hi All,

I'm looking to remove my vacuum pump since I don't have any vacuum instruments left.

I understand that the "cabin dump" switch is connected to the vacuum pump and that it slowly dumps the cabin pressure.  I was told that one can dump the cabin pressure just as easily by deflating the door seal.

So my questions are:

  • If I remove the pump, and not touch the cabin dump switch, will the pressurization system still work?
  • Is there a special backing plate that I use to cover the hole in the back of the engine left by the pump's removal?
  • Does the pump do anything else other than run the vacuum instruments and the dump switch?

Thanks,

Dico
