Well as I stated earlier my underdrive pullies came in today and since I was going to be working on my car anyways I decided to get rid of my smog pump. For the most part it was a very simple process removing the smog pump, the bolts in the back of the heads were the hardest part. Then I had to figure out what to plug them with, on the left side I used a random bolt with some RTV, on the right a spark plug fit perfectly. For the exhaust hole I also used a spark plug put into the rubber tube. I spent some trime trying to grind down small water jackets but it just wasn't worth it with the tools I had.
Next came the U/D pullies which were a breeze minus the alternator pully which I rented a puller for from AutoZone. That tool is a waste of time and money I must say, complicated with no directions and it doesn't even work for my alternator. 70 dollars, a screwdriver to jam the fan on it, and a torque wrench later it came off. Only problem I still have is I had to guess on belt size so I bought one 80.5 and one 81.5. Both are too big so I will be going tommorow to get the right one, I measured with a string and came up with 77. So I am still running the pump until I get the right belt.
But the power difference is pretty suprising. I am very happy, 50 bucks for 10hp is awesome.
