hi guys, i was looking at this pump (smog pump/air pump) and wondering is there a removal kit to eliminate the system properly? thanks... any info will help.

The "removal kit" is a wrench and a shorter belt. Note, however, that if you still have the catalytic converter, the A.I.R. pump blows cool air into the cat to prevent the cat bed from melting. Removing the pump while retaining the cat may lead to a plugged converter in a year or so.
