There are thermactor plugs that you can buy from summit to fill in the wholes, here's the Trick Flow part number TFS-51400265 its only $2.99

Are these what your talking about? The ones on my heads look different but its to plug the A.I.R passage on none emission vehicles Plug

If you got rid of the smog, then the only vac. lines you'll need are the green (goes to EGR) and red (goes to the intake). Just remove and block off the other lines that were for the smog pump.

there is a line that goes from the smog line in the header up to the Throttle body, that is the one im talking about taking off, do i have to plug up the throttle body too?

Thats the EGR Yes you will have to block off the opening on the TB. Go to Pep Boys and ask for a Fuel Pump Block Off Plate for a 351 cleveland. As for the part on the header, cut the tube so you can get the fastner off, stick a penny in it, and tighten it back down.

1105, thanks for the tips, I'll be ditching the smog stuff soon. How much weight do you think I'll save with that?

 

[1105]

10-15 pounds The actual smog pump itself is very light. I think the EGR weighs more than it. You wont lose a lot of weight, but people do it to clean up the engine bay. No smog or EGR on my car

What valve covers are those? I asked before in another thread but you didn't answer.

Sorry to bring this thread back up, I was at work.

Thoes are fox valve covers, sanded and polished (kinda) work great and have no clearance problems with my rockers.

wow, talk about :OT:
It was fairly easy. Just took some time to make sure everything was even. A lot of measuring and redoing the lines. It took me and another guy a few hours to do it.

I'm running the motorcraft 10w30 oil right now

I'm also thinking of removing the smog pump what all do I need to do. Because there are some wires that are connected to the somg pump line any ideas?

 

[1105]

Any vaccume lines attached to the smog pump just simple plug them up. Theres 2 bolts that hold the smog pump on, remove thoes and the pump will come off. Remove all the hoses and the hard line going down to the mid pipe. Plug up the mid pipe and the air line coming from the back of the heads and your set to go... but you'll need a different size belt. Anywhere from 895k6 to 905k6 will be the size you need. Some cars are different than others.

Cool thanks 1105 I think I'll start getting on that right now since my car is being worked on and I'm not getting my parts until next weekend I also have to get a new water pump alsmost tempted to pull the front cover and put in a new cam along with roller rockers LOL.
