Smog pump removal, FMS A/C Delete. New belt routing idea.

Yes I agree with 88, the water pump needs to turn that way. I just did mine yesterday. Should be able to do it in an hour or 2. Real easy, just make sure the compressor is discharged, start to disconnect the a/c compressor from these two spots, if your looking straight at the engine, turn them right to disconnect, I got confused and was actually tigtening them




The rest is all just bolts and brackets, real easy to take off, the hardest part for me was, the stud that goes through the ps pump, its a double threaded stud and almots impossible to get off. Spray ALOT of wd40 on it, take vice grips and good gloves, lock them on the stud and turn it, after alittle while and alot of soreness in both hands it will start to come off. It took me a few times to look at the diagram, but its easy to get on.


Heres the stud.




For the smog pump its 2 bolts and a clamp. Take the bolt on the back of the smog pump off first from under the car, then take the clamp off and the second bolt from the top. Make sure no one is under the car, hit it a few times with a hammer and itll just drop like a rock. i couldnt take out the metal lines to the smog pump to the head, it just wouldnt budge so I just put duct tape on the hole to block it off until I can get it off. Your SUPOSED to take out the metal lines and plug the holes, one on the passenger head, and another on the drivers head. And then you can take out the pipe that goes to the mid pipe. Hope this helps, This is how I would go about doing it, if I were to do it again, took me all day yesterday because it was my first time actually diving into the engine. heres some pics of mine.

Oh and plan on having a back up car, I had to make 3 trips to the store. Bought a 70.5 and 71" the first time, had to go back and I bought a 73, had to go back and ended up buying a 74.5 and that one finally fit.


Oh yea I didnt have time to take out the acuator, condsor ot the lines, but ill get on that right away.
