When you take off the smog control do youhave to block anything off on the carb, or is it just remove everything and its all fine and dandy

Re: help with smog delete

You have to block off the two pipes coming up off the manifolds, and the little pipe coming from the cat - here's the tech article: https://www.thirdgen.org/serpentine

You just have to ignore the part about the serpentine belt (I'm assuming you don't have because you are factory carbed).

You have to worry about the police if its a street driven vehicle in the United States. Its a violation of Federal Law to remove, disable, or tamper with emissions devices, including the AIR tubes, and the catalytic converter.

So, this is a race car for the track? right?
