ok here is my problem i have an 1985 berlinetta v8 carb. 305 . i took out my ac to make more room and look clean. now i still have a lot of space being taking up on my passenger side by i think the smog pump it has its own belt like the ac did ( so i just cut the ac belt off and took the parts out ) but i just dont no what to do with the big lines commin off of the smog pump. (i am not 100% sure it is a smog pump ) can some 1 tell me how to remove this and if my car will run fine after. i really want to take it off i really want the room it is takeing up ?????????? "sry for my bad spelling "

 

If it is not the power steering pump, it is the smog pump...THEY ARE UGLY...I have worked on mine a couple times, and have yet to get it out, as I rounded out the torxs bolts holding it in....It is not hooked up anymore, but it is still there...It makes no noise...Be sure to clean out the bolts with something sharp, so your wrench will fit in the hole properly...I must now cut off the heads, and get them out with vise grips.NO FUN..On my other thirdgen, they came right out, and had the pump offf in about an hour..Good luck, Tom

 

make sure you put the lower bolts back in when finished

 

what do i do about the line going to the cat i was going to cut the cat off any ways and put headers on so i think i just answer my own question but i have yet to order my headers till Wednesday but what do i do about the vacum line that comes from it it is prttey big and runs to other parts with smaller lines of of that do i just take them off?????????????
----------
will it run fine after i take it off ?????????? and will i have a check engine light stuck on???????

 

yeah it will run fine when you take the lines off, you will have to plug the main line coming off of each manifold though, and now you wont have a check engine light on, but you will fail emmisions testing if you have to do it.

 

in ohio we dont have emmision so its cool i am glad of that what is the big black line comming from it to the top of the motor goes over the passanger side vale cover ?

 

figgerd it out thanx but any helpful comment please tell me plan on getting headers this week

 

where at in ohio do you live? i used to live in richland county.

 

i live in circleville about 40 min south of columbus

 

Do you by chance still have the smog pump... my lines are plugged and I just purchased this car from AZ and i'm in Vegas which requires emissions test. I cant seem to find the smog pump on the car and they want 65 for a new one.. I dont even have the lines or know where it all goes... anything would help.
its a 85 Camaro Z28
