what is necessary to get this done? just remove them and make sure the hole is plugged in the block?

plug air tube piping from converters , remove pump and all hoses etc , plug any vacuum lines off , pipes coming out the back of each head need to be plugged with 5/8s bolts

Easier said than done w/ regards to removing the pump.
It's much easier to replace the air pump with the bracket/idler pulley than it is to remove it and leave it as is when you go looking for a belt. My car has no air pump or AC compressor, and getting a replacement belt was a bitch. Keep the belt setup as close to stock as possible...it's just simpler that way.

i have my smog pump skipped with a belt but still have power steering and ac, belts 84.5 inches long

84killer · October 8th, 2008, 11:29 AM

it really isnt that hard.
we have smog pump off but ac is still connected, and it is an 86 in belt. the holes need to be plugged, and thats pretty much it.

unbolt it and chunk it!!! mine looked up and burned the belt off... was close to the house so i drove it till it broke... don't recommend driving with no belt... gets hot quick!!!

I never looked into plugging the holes, but I beleive my vortech mounting bracket plugs them up.

Hunt_chevs · October 8th, 2008, 04:55 PM

so i cannot use the bolt that's made for the tubes (which connects to the block) to plug the holes... anyone got a pic of the pump?

Well, your brackets weren't mixed and matched...and poorly matched. I think I ended up with a 81.5" belt. It's what happens when you buy someone elses project car. I'm still looking into whether or not Guinness has a record for highest number of fault codes in one car...

I had my ac and smog deleted, my ps moved up in place of the ac but have since went manual steering so now I only have my 3g alt, crank underdrive and waterpump underdrive pullies so my belt's short as hell.

remove all the smog junk and plug the smog tube holes in the back of the heads... only thing though if your still running the stock h pipe with all the stock oem cats then there going to over heat and get clogged. Time to invest in an off road h or x or a catted of choice just not the oem.
