I have been running the smog pump as an idler pulley for years now, but want to replace it with a delete kit. I have looked at several of the kits available but haven't seen one that will work with the alternator relocated below the smog pump.
There are two thru bolts that hold the smog pump onto the engine, however I secure my alternator bracket to the smog pump as well with an additional hole that is located at the bottom in a direction that points to the pulley shaft not with the shaft.
I have seen a few kits that use the upper smog pump fastening location and the alternator bracket hole that I use, but not all three.
Has anyone had any issues by using this mounting method? Is there a kit that uses the factory mounting locations as well as offers an attachment point for the lower alternator bracket?
Thanks,
Walz
