EGR will throw a code, and if you remove the EGR without programming it out of the computer it will actually hurt performance. Everything else will not throw a code. The gains you will recieve by removing the smog stuff will be minimal but it will clean up your engine bay alot.

 

i agree with subliminal,smog ****'s will argue to leave it on this and that....i still have fully functional EGR,but i got rid of the air injection system,and my car passed emissions with flying colors. not to mention yo ucan see the actual motor now!

heres a before after shot for ya to ponder...and btw...LEAVE the egr system in place.id also leave the evap system in place...it doesnt hurt power at all,jsut relocate it somewhere out of sight.

before



after

 

Also with the AIR lines out of the way it makes changing spark plugs a snap.

 

yup...5/8ths plug socket and a 3/4 inch wrench....i can get plugs done in about 10 minutes without even working up a sweat

headers and air delete FTW!

 

I deleted the AIR system and the smog pump crap. I'm running a high flow, NON air cat, and a zz4 cam, and at my buddy's shop, I actually ran CLEANER than before! Sure "Technically" it's illegal, but heck NC doesn't test pre 1996 cars anymore. Not saying my 3000 miles a year would be a major enviromentally unfriendly car, but I'm happy that it runs clean.

...and I'm still runnin' EGR, and the evap cannister is UNDER the tray where it normally sits ON the tray.

 

....and like a proud grandparent of a kid who just scored the winning goal in his soccer game.... ....I have a picture for the fridge.

 

Very clean, I dig the L-98 emblem!

MSD looks gorgeous hanging up there as well.
nice routing of plug wires, I think Im in love..

Wheres the polish?

 

damn...Abubaca's engine bay FTW!

im in the process of cleaning mine up right now....its come along way in the last week or so,mine wont look near as good as yours until the fall/winter when the motor comes out,everything gets smoothed...and new paint!

props to ya though,that engine bay is hot!

and after noticing the MSD placement....thats where my msd6BTM is going..

 

No disrespect, Iroc88 yours is also very nice.

Im alittle ahead of you, I had already pulled the block, and
painted the bay. I got to get the exterior done in the next
two weeks or so.

I also did the same thing and removed the Diverter valve,
and it made the engine bay 50% better than it was..

Surprising one component can deappreciate
the look of a engine or car in general!!

 

oh none taken at all,come fall/winter my engine bay should look totally different.

its getting completely smoothed,almost all wiring will be virtually unseen,and of course repainted with full motor detailing,i jsut wanna get it cleaned up a bit more and enjoy driving it this summer,then it gets torn down and 100% repainted
