Smog Pump Questions

[89stangalang]

I have recently added a new discharge tube and mini race bypass valve to my car and the smog pump lines are directly in my way. Is there any way that I can just cap off the lines and leave the smog pump there, but have it do nothing. If this can be done what would i have to do to the vacumm lines. Any help would be great.

As long as you bypass the pump- the answer is yes. You could remove all the rubber smog lines altogether and leave the tube that connects to the heads hanging open- it has a one way valve in it. I would just spend the $40 at summit ans buy the smog pump delete....or get a short belt.

Just run a shorter belt. What's the point of have it there doing nothing, plus I will save a little weight of the front.

 

[QDRHRSE]

Yeah. It should fit in place of the smog pump. It uses the same bolts and everything.

 

[shttygtstang]

so it will work with vortech or paxton(like mine) brackets

 

[QDRHRSE]

Yes. I've used the same smog pump eliminator with both A ans S trim vortechs.

I'm with Will. Why not just remove the pump, put a shorter belt on, cap (or remove and cap) the lines and be done with it?

 

[shttygtstang]

because with a sc you need the pump for the bracket wright

 

[Daggar]

The SC bracket mounts to the smog pump??

 

[shttygtstang]

mine does look

 

[Daggar]

I would not have guessed that a blower bracket would mount to the casing of another accessory. Thanks for the visual shtty.

 

[shttygtstang]

so what can you do to delete this nothing huh just buy a kit huh i dont think you can run a smaller belt

 

[shttygtstang]

bump

 

[Daggar]

not without manufacturing another bracket to attach the blower bracket to it appears.
