i dont know how many codes u would throw because my friend has a 89 no cats no air system and no codes unless his light is out thew sell delete kits for alot of things relating to emissions and depending on your year pre 96 there was no certain rules on throwing codes so alot of things could be deleted with no problems

they only thing that will set of the check engine light is the egr.

as for the belt size i don't know. if your willing to delete the a/c and smog than it is 79 or 80 inch belt.

Just get the Smog pump idler pulley and use the same belt. It is hard to get enough tension on the belt without the smog pump

also to figure out what belt size, just take your old belt, cut it and run it around, most belts are measured in mm not inches. so then take it to a yard stick and measure it out. should be able to work something out with a parts store.

when you say you left it just hanging in the engine bay, did you do the whole half open thing? I don't understand it totally, but i guess there's a plate or something that you need to hole half open, which keeps the light from going on? I'd like to try the free route first, lol. i'm dutch.

then that is when you'll get the check engine light unless you have a tweecer or i've heard people say that you can push the thing half way out.

Free route... first remove your egr stuff..and where it goes into the head.. plug that whole..then where the egr unbolts from the ntake... gets some metal cut it to the shape and bolt it so there's no air leak (im assuming that you all have actually looked under the hood and know where im talking about) ...n e ways... theres a plunger that is in the wiring part that you disconnect from the egr...make the plunger stay halfway plunged to keep the CEL off... use a clear cap from the gumball machine things with toys in them... just somehow keep the plunger halfway down.
