Removal of self levelling suspension pump 16V

[alexkor]

I was wondering, to dismantle all the associated components of the 2.3-16V is rather straight foward. However before I start doiing that, I was wondering how to plug up the hole on the 16V exhaust cam end when the pump is removed?. Anyone who has removed the SLS hydrolic pump from their 16V or similar car, could you share some info on the conversion.

Btw, could the normal non-16V springs (especially the rear ones) be used with Bilstein sport shocks with on sls attached? or do I need to upgrade ths springs. I think the 16V springs have a higher kg/mm than the non-16V's....
