I’m deleting the smog pump and eventually the a/c I’m wondering what is the better route getting a shorter belt or the free spinning aluminum pulleys also any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated
Depends how much you care. The pulley makes it look** like there is still a smog pump there. Most cops won't go down there and pay attention.
When it's gone altogether, and the belt is much shorter, and there is a hole in the engine bay, they notice.
I have never in all my life, had a cop try and look under the hood for... anything; ever.
Pretty sure they do that sort of nonsense in CA where cops are actually trained to know what to look for under the hood.
I also have never had to pop my hood for a cop or state inspection. Doubt many would even know what they are looking at here.
They never asked to pop the hood. Why would they? I can predict what my response might be.
They can...and it's law that you have to comply

Looking for advice? Is there something you always wanted to ask a cop? Only LEOs should answer questions. Please see posting guidelines.forum.officer.com

Kinda sad that that the officer in that post states he'll arrest you for not popping your hood. "If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't mind popping your hood". WTF is wrong with this country.

Yeah... Not going to happen and it's illegal. They are owed no right to search any portion of the car.
