Delete smog, A/C and the stock mounts.

Thats my next summer project including the addition of a timing gear drive.

The water pump will still be the non electric reverse rotation and the alternator will be moved to the passenger side. The power steering pump will stay in its general location. Any non-costly (under $500) suggestions?



Thanks,

Geo.

Re: Delete smog, A/C and the stock mounts.

If you want to "delete smog" then your best way is to leave the emissions parts on there. They do the best job of removing smog from your exhaust.

Do you still have TPI? Timing gear drives are known to cause problems with the knock sensor and make the computer think the engine is knocking, retarding timing and killing power.
