got a few questions, you know the vaccum lines your supposed to plug off when you remove the smog pump? where can i buy those? a few of the lines broke off (very britle) when i was disconnecting them (not the ones to the smog pump). And what size of belt will i need with no A/C and no smog pump with underdrives? any ideas? thxs

I'm using a 71" with No Smog, No A/C(FRPP Kit), Underdrives, and OD Alternator. I could have probably used a 70.5, so if you have an UD Alternator a 71 would probably be a close fit but no guarantees.

I have a 70.5" belt with my no smog and frpp ac delete. You will need at least that small with the underdrives. I am not quite sure how much less.

If you are refering to the hard plastic vacum lines you can get them at your local auto parts store. You will have to buy the line and elbows. If you just broke the smog lines and you are disconnecting it anyway just plug the solenoids on the passenger side shock tower.

right on, yea thats what i was asking about (the hard plastic ones). I also broke off 2 other ones that dont hook up to the smog equipment. Problem is when they broke off, they broke off almost RIGHT at the rubber part (connector), and when i go to an auto parts store and ask for vaccum line they always give me the big rubber s$&#.

I know Pepboys carries the lines. They are usually over by the bolts, screws and vacum caps. I hate shopping there, but they do have certain things some places don't. The line is called something else, which I can't remember off hand. Take one in and have them match it if you are going somewhere else. I have seen people use the bulk hose instead, but it looks odd and you no long have color coding for the lines.

Hope that helps
