Can I put a short belt to bypass my smog pump w/o removing it first? I was going to go ahead and get a new belt because mine needs replaced and I'm running an O/R pipe so there is no need for the air pump, but I don't think I'll get around to taking it out til this weekend or next. Can I just put tha belt on w/o tha pump getting in tha way?

thanks -- cj

Shouldn't be a problem, The smog pump pulley isnt in the way of the belt at all.
