So on my 85 5.0 I want to eliminate the smog pump.
First I want to do this for cleaning it up, not HP

I also want to keep my filter for the fuel vapors.



What lines can I remove that will clean it up and also what lines to I have to be careful with that will affect the carb vacuum?

If I do remove the charcoal can I just get a Vapor gas cap?

wonder how much it would cost to ship you a pair

I would keep the vapor canister operational, helps with part throttle cruise, the rest I'm not sure about.
