If you are looking to remove the smog pump and A.I.R. lines, its pretty simple. You should be able to get the flared plugs to go into the manifold holes at your local NAPA store :idea: Take your lines with you so they have the size to match the plug to :idea: You will also have to measure your pulley system for a new belt 
I fixed a supposedly unfixable seized up 80' Monte Carlo smog pump by opening it up and soaking it in WD-40 and forcing it to turn with a hammer. After a few rounds it broke free, I turned it more with more WD-40 until it turned smooth, and it never made a peep ever again.
if it's tensioned properly it shouldn't make any noise.88 hurst olds said:Not sure what you mean by dog or squeal...
How about just replacing the belt...

It would be v-belts and the AIR pump has it's own belt..... It's even the outermost belt and comes off the easiest....
To the OP:
I'd just take the belt off and forget it....
Take a pair of cutters and snip the belt. Problem solved.
If you later want to clean the engine bay up and make it easier to change spark plugs, you can remove the AIR manifolds and put plugs in their the place.

The problem with just cutting/removing the belt is that eventually the red hot exhaust gasses will defeat the anti backfire valves and then exit at the smog pump. Complete removal and plugging the ports is the best way to go, unless of course you just fix it.
