Alright, tonight I started the process of removing the smog pump after work. Sadly the sun went down before I could get done. However I am detailing every step with photos and specs and nut sizes, gonna write a slightly more in depth tech then the one on the tech board.

Tomorrow I'm gonna take the pully and belt off and remove the pump itself. And plug the holes on the exhuast maniafold.

One question, will my coolent bypass remain.

A word to the wise: You better word your article properly (as in hypotheticals or "for offroad use only"). It's a major fine (as in federal crime) for tampering or assisting someone tamper with vehicle emmision controls.

 

your full of crap, the otehr article says REMOVING YOUR SMOG PUMP. Nothign illegal about it, I went to get my car inspected and aked, and he said it was fine. It all depends were you live. Check with local and state laws.
