Secondary Air Injection finally failed - what to do?

After 11 useless years, my SAI pump finally called it quits and prompted the P0411 error message. On cold morning startups, you can hear the thing sputtering, so all indications are that it failed. I have over a year to go before I need to have the mandatory emissions test (June 2015), so it just seems pointless to replace it now, rather than just waiting it out.
Questions for the board. Since I believe the SAI pump only functions during cold weather startups, can I "trick" the state emissions test during the summer months by clearing the code with a Tech 2 just before taking it in for emissions testing? The state reads codes as part of the test and a P0411 will fail it. Will the 9-3 throw that code even when the SAI isn't needed during warm weather, or does it run the test at every startup? Trying to save a few shekels here.
