After reading your tech article on removing the AIR pump, I was able to eliminate all of the air injection components and it looks a lot better under the hood now. I think it will be a little easier to install headers now with less in the way.

It was especially helpful to see how you re routed the drive belt. I used the same size you mentioned in the article and every thing is set.

Also, I set my base line timing at 6 deg advance with no problems so far.

Thanks again for your help.
