[Yellow95]

I don't remember the belt number but when my gave up the ghost, but there is a shorter belt you can run and keep the smog pump in place to avoid capping and plugging everything. Are you still running cats?

 

[Yellow95]

i don’t have cats, and i already took the old pump out, i can put it back in tho also i’m pretty sure the new belt size without the smog pump is like 90.2 inches

If you want to run without smog set up i can take pictures of everything i did and load them here
this will show the proper way
to keep the original belt LMR sells a smog pump delete kit with pulley. you would need it
there will be some vacuum lines on the passenger side to unplug and cap off
the bypass hose tube assembly will also be deleted along with the cross tubes behind the heads
if you do want to go into it further just let me know
its really not much work and dose not cost a lot and you wont have any check engine lights

 

[Yellow95]

yes please a quick rundown would be great

 

[RAU03MACH]

it will take a little to find the pics so let me put them together

 

[RAU03MACH]

i may need to run out to my car upload a few pictures

 

[Yellow95]

it’s alright, no rush at all, auto part stores aren’t even open rn

 

[RAU03MACH]

the white looking line on passenger side fender under hood 4 vac lines un hook white one and block off with a small vac cap the rest will go to engine

 

[RAU03MACH]

ill pull up some pics

 

[Yellow95]

something i’m kinda lost on is the two tubes that both go to the engine and the cats, do those have to come off? like is it really necessary?

 

[RAU03MACH]

the red line is where the 4 vacuum lines are find the white one plug it

 

[Yellow95]

is that the only one to plug?

you dont have to but they need to be caped in that system somwhere or you will have a leak of gasses

 

[RAU03MACH]

yes

 

[Yellow95]

amazing news, removing them would be a pain

 

[RAU03MACH]

the tube on the back of heads come off with the by pass hose and tubes on passanger side
there will be 2 bolts you will need to plug heads

 

[Yellow95]

so everything circled just remove then plug the hose and cap the tubes
