AIR smog removal

I've been reading alot of forums regarding the smog pump removal. I have a 92 RS 305 TBI. I've taken the engine out, bored it 30 over, comp cam, piston and lifters, machined heads, Edelbrock headers with 3in pipes, Holly street dominator intake and a 650cfm TBI. My question(s) is this; can I still pass emissions with the smog pump removed?, how much power can I hope to gain?, Are there any special needs that I should be concerned about?

Any help would be appreciated.

Won't gain any performance, emissions will depend on your local laws.

Re: AIR smog removal

i dunno bout no performance, you'll gain some but not enough to feel. less for the motor to turn specially if its noisy. And if you take it off entirely where you can't tell it ever had emission you might get away with it but i don't know how extensive they are with your laws

Re: AIR smog removal

you probably won't pass emissions with no air system. and it probably won't give you enough power to make a huge difference

i myself am wondering where you can find a air pump delete pulley?
