Hey gang, I am in the middle of swapping the old blown smog/air pump off the 91' V6 , 3.1 L and I managed to get the top and bottom bolts pulled, the plug is disconnected, but the damn thing will not come out,I can see a hose holding it tight, do I need to jack the car up to get at the hose to fully remove the smog/air pump and do I need some needle nose pliers to disconnec the hose??


Thanks in advance

 

is this mod good for better MPG?

 

IMO..not really. Its mainly to make the engine bay cleaner. Might net 1 MPG and 1 Hp.

Yes bud you need to get those clamps off with some pliers. The belt with no ac/ no AIR is a 81.5 i think. Its early in the morn so i may be off. But im not sure if you have air. Just tell the parts store you have a V6 camaro with no air, or no air and no A/C and they will give you the right belt.

See my engine bay its still a little messy but the AIR system, IF you dont have emmisions, can be a easy way to somewhat clean up the area.

 

We are looking just to replace it, but thanks for the tip though!

I might be looking later to shorten up the Air filter tubing and just place it in front of the carburator later on down the road!

 

Ok sorry man, Im just use to so many ppl just taking them off for no reason.
