Need help finding missing parts to my car's Cali emissions setup

So as the title states I'm trying to find the missing pieces for my car's California emissions setup in my quest to take it from wannabe street racer back to a stock GTA, to which I've mostly succeeded in doing. I just need to now remove the added switch for the fans, a stock PROM and to reconnect my emissions system, which the previous owner so kindly half-assed in removing. They pretty much left the entire system intact minus the smog pump, diverter valve and possibly a few pieces of hosing connected to the valve and capped the spot where the valve sat. So I know I need the pump, proper belt, valve and the hose between the two but I'm unsure if I'm missing any other hosing or parts. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, I'll be sure to post a pic or two of what I'm currently dealing with soon.

Edit: General spellchecking as posting via mobile is a pain

Post a pic now, that way we'll know what you already have and won't have to do a bunch of guessing.

Re: Need help finding missing parts to my car's Cali emissions setup

Oddly enough there's not even a delete pulley where I assume the air pump should be, so I'm not even entirely sure where the pump would sit normaly and how the belt would be routed. The two plugs for the valve are currently just "hanging" around near the bottom.


Edit: Whoops it's sideways. Not sure how to fix that...

Re: Need help finding missing parts to my car's Cali emissions setup

You're missing more than the pump. The brackets are gone too.

Might want to post in the classifieds on this site since so many people seem to want to hack that off of their cars. More than likely, any pump you'd get that way, would be questionable at best; but they're not too $$$ at the Zone or RockAuto or wherever. But that would be a good way to get all the brackets and whatnot. Ideally it would come with all the hoses and lines, including the one that goes to the catalytic converter.

The check valve that should go where that hose and ... something ... and all that are, you can also get at the store.

Belt routing is on the sticker on your radiator clamp.

Re: Need help finding missing parts to my car's Cali emissions setup

Thanks for the quick replies! So just to clarify in total I need the pump with mounting brackets, the valve, the hose between the valve and the pump and a hose that runs from the valve to the cat? And just to cover all my ends I do know my car still has it's original cat on it, so would there be any concerns regarding it being disconnected from the rest of the system for an extended period of time like it has been? (At the very least it's been two years)

If your '87 still has the v-belt system, the attachments might help you.
