F*!@#$ smog pump

[FE3X CLONE]

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.

When I bought my car years and years ago the belt had been cut/missing. I never replaced it because the smog pump was siezed (at just 70K miles). Never had any problems with the anti bacfire valve, etc.

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 think that is just what I'm going to do! Thanks!
