Can I use the smog pump as a vacuum pump for my breathers?

The smog pump blows air it doesnt pull air.

It has an intake tube and a discharge tube on it? Can hooking up a hose to the intake tube create any vacuum?

What exactly are you tryin to accomplish with the pump? Seems like an odd thing to me.

Do like most people do and hook them into your header collectors.

The smog will indeed evacuate your crankcase. The only issue is the oil mist will have to be controlled before it enters the pump. Since this is a dry pump, it doesnt like the oil mist and it must be minimized.
A pump engineered for this purpose will die if you run it dry, so it requires the oil mist.

I have the header setup but with my 95 and the fox lt's there is not enough space.

hllon4whls the breathers have built in oil seperators and i might try this setup for now to see how it works.

thanks
