I'm finally getting an o/r-h for my car but the guy had the air injection tube welded shut. Do i cut it open and connect the hose to it, or do I get a smog pump eliminator kit?

It it worth the trouble to get the eliminator and would there even be a noticeable difference in power? It would be so much easier to cut and reconnect the pipe.

Can someone clarify this... if i get the smog pump eliminator, it'll take care of the check engine light that's coming on?

Ok well either way you aren't using the smog pump anytime soon sooo.... first moment of business is to find something to cap off the tube on your H-pipe. It also doesnt' sound good that he plugged off the line and left it there. You usually take it out and then plug it off. If you think about it you have a pump thats generating air and there is no where for the air to go. You could get some negative side effects leaving it that way. To answer your question: The eliminator kit is nice because it will make the pulley a little more free flowing but don't expect to see a lot of HP gain from it. Whats nice about doing it that way, you don't have to find a different size belt. You could bypass it, but like mentioned before you have to check a few different belt sizes out the nice part though is you don't have to plug up the air tubes going to the back of your crank case. Last but not least, if you do take it completely out you need to plug up the tubes going to the back of your crank case. YOu can just leave them there and stick a large bolt into them. Sorry if I confused you but if you need elaboration just let me know.
