Question is... would the lack of an airpump affect the catalytic converter behavior or life? would it cause me any issues?
That is a little strange, what is the reasons for that?

IIRC newer style catalytic converters don't need an air pump to operate effectively, previously they did to bring them up to temp to be effective.

Just curious, are there actually roads that you can safely drive a 928 on? When I hear Lebanon, all I can picture is a war torn city, like in the movie Spy Games.
