The guide I am using says removing the air injection system is optional. How would I go about capping it without having to remove the rail? Thank you

cap the hard pipe feeding the injector rail from the smog pump. Looking at the pictures provided above, i do not see the air injection hard pipe in the pic. Could PO removed it?

I thought that was what that valve looking think with 3 black hoses running off it was…

It’s possible. PO had a shop do an engine swap and already rerouted the belt off the air pump so it’s not functional
 
The pipe looks like this:

Probably the PO made the proper fix - removed the pipe and capped the air injector holes with genuine Toyota caps. If not this is their PN: 90340-14001.

The air injector rail is still there. I’ll take more pictures when I get home and clean it up with the other egr stuff left in to get a better look
 
From your photo I can only see the air injector rail's "shield" still mounted. Its hold in place by three bolts and can also be removed:

As a reference for vacuums I am also providing a link to the Vacuum desmog information diagram which I hope you may find useful:


It looks like they’re still there

Well, I can only imagine how the air injectors are tapped. In your case I would make the proper fix and use the genuine Toyota plugs mentioned in one of my previous posts

Hey man. You were right. I appreciate it. I took off some stuff over it and was able to see PO had cut the air lines and filled the ends with epoxy lol. So they’re airtight

But eventually I will absolutely use the correct plugs
