cleaning up a new purchace

I recently bought a 1990 RS with a single belt 5.7L TBI installed. If I were to remove the smog controls, including the pulley and all parts. what serpentine belt would I now need to fit the engine. Also, are there any recommended sites aside from summitracing where i may order performance parts such as full exhaust from the headers back, and suspension components??

Re: cleaning up a new purchace

a smog removal kit would include what... a single plug for that coolant port by the distributor? the rest is removable by hand and is done away with when the headers are changed, so what are you talking about exactly?
