I live in Illinois and dealing with poor air quality from the wildfires in Canada. For pruning in general is it a good idea to prune the plants when having poor air quality which is currently at 138?

If you are growing outdoors co2 will not be an issue. However, soot clogging stomata will block the plant from absorbing it if its sunny and this will reduce your sugar production. I say just spray the leaves to wash clogging particles away but that's about it
