Apologizing ahead of time... smog pump question

[titanium1990]

Ive spent a few hours searching and have found many answers.... im confused and lost. Bought a new off road x pipe that doesnt have the smog inlet tube. I dont need to worry about emissions and i wont have any cats. Can i just get a shorter belt to bypass the smog pump? Can i just plug the hose under the car by the current h pipe? I dont care about hp gain, i dont care about deleting the smog pump to gain more room in the engine compartment. I do care about the cel light coming on and the car running like crap. Thanks!!!

You don't need to plug the hose under the car. If it pumps air into nothing (as in leaving the tube unhooked and pumping from the open tube into nothing) it won't matter. You also could run a smaller belt and bypass the pump. Neither of those two options will make your car run any different or cause a check engine light.

What he said. ^

Run a shorter belt and move on with life.
