smog pumps are used for emissions. Basically they take up room and make your exhaust cleaner....you can delete it all together of get one of those delete kits with a pulley if you want to run the same belt.

I heard that your cats might get plugged quicker without the smog pump. I'm pretty sure they're full of crap. Just get rid of the stupid thing. If my 98 had a smog pump, I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago.

well get you an off road midpipe and then there is definitely no need for the smog pump. I believe that is the purpose of it, but dont know how well it works.

yo man i still suggest you dont remove your smog pump bud not a good idea, sure it lesson's up some lag on the belt so everything will spin faster but emmission's goes out the door and when you gotta smog it you will not pass so part of me hopes you listen but i dont know how your DMV is out there and the rules about smog so ???
