I do not want to wear out my welcome, but this car is completely foreign to me in more ways than one. I also attempted to search for smog pump related threads without much success.
The previous owner seems to have disconnected the smog pump system to a certain extent, yet left the belt on the pump. One hose coming out of the pump is sealed off, other parts are missing. Heck it looks like this has a different carb on it, and it has headers instead of stock exhaust. That big canister under the carb is also missing, which I think was some type of a cat? Since mine is obviously not working as originally installed, why would the belt still be left on it?
Anyway, what is entailed in removing the emissions/smog system completely, and is there anything I must watch out for so as to not make the car run poorly?
