As long as it's not upstream from your O^2 feed back sensor you should be
alright. On my 87 the O^2 sensor is on the exaust manifold, and the air
streem enters just before it when the engin is warming up. Once the engine
is warm it diverts the air to enter the exaust stream just after the Y pipe
and before the Cat' conv. your EFI set up might be different.
