power gain will not be noticeable its mostly to clean up the engine bay if you got rid of all the smog equipment you can yank it out with no issues

Don't remove the pump for a HP gain.

You already have an O/R pipe, right?

The EGR is separate from the A.I.R. system.

Be sure to research things to your satisfaction before removing components.

There are vacuum hoses attached to the system as well. If you remove the pump and plug the holes in the heads you should be able to plug all the vacuum lines that where going to the smog and have no problems. On my old 94 GT, I ended up with some lines plugged and some open to atmosphere, but don't ask me why.

This has been covered many times so i would think you could search it and find the "right" way to do it.

BTW, you should get a few HP out of the removal, once you get it out see how hard the pulley is to turn and you'll know why.

You MIGHT gain about 5HP at the crank, so the power gain won't be noticeable but it will be there. And it definitely cleans up the engine bay a little and you also lose some weight.

It should be an easy job...
Here is a "How-To"
’94-‘95 Mustang GT 5.0 HO Smog System Removal

FYI- Don't get fooled by the smog pump delete pulley. Just get a shorter belt for like $20 from AutoZone
