Camaro A/c Delete

I deleted the smog system out of my 92' and I was curious as to roughly how much HP is free'd up at the Fly with both Smog and a A/C delete ?


Some pics of Smog delete , it worked out easily enough. Pep boys seemed to carry the belt I needed.

The A/C clutch disengages at WOT anyways, so its no more than a spinning pulley such as the A/C delete at that point. The main point of that delete is to free up space and some weight reduction...

As for the smog delete... who knows...

Don't know about that, I took the cat off of my car after I did my mods, I put it back on the following year and the things runs much BETTER with a CAT. I gained power when I put a 2.5 inch Catco Cat on it. I went from running 83 to 86 mph in the quarter to running 86 to 87.5 mph.

My Et's also dropped and became much more consistant. I went from 16.2-16.9 down to 16.0 to 16.2.

It's very very consisant.
