"I have a 1979 Mg Midget 1500. I have the engine out because i am rebuilding it. Since i have it out and am upgrading some things. With the new headers and things there are no hook ups for the emissions control equipment. I just need some insight on all the things that i have to remove and plug up to take the complete system out while im in there. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated."
OK, first of all welcome, and, we all need pictures. It's pretty easy to remove.
On my '76, I took out all the emissions stuff.
1. the charcoal canister etc are pretty obvious. all you will have to do is make sure you can route the hoses that remain. I think I had to block one hose at the back of the pipe that went under the exhaust manifold which with headers I presume no longer exists.
2. I actually removed the return line to the gas tank and the vapour canister in the trunk, this because I put in a new tank which didn't have the return hole.
3. There are 4 holes above the intake manifold where the air rail went - these will need to be plugged. bolts are available even on Ebay
4. The air pump on mine had already been removed so I'm not sure what you need to do on that side of the engine.
I can psot pics later if you like.
FWIW I also replaced the ZS carb with an SU (HS4) made a world of difference. With the engine out and if you want to cut the passenger side fender a little, you can also put in dual HS2's as they did in the UK
Either way, welcome, you're in the right place.
