The best thing to do with a smog pump is get rid of it they sieze eventually .I didnt need a kit to remove mine, I just found a shorter belt.

My bad,yours is fuel injected,im running a carb all of my emissions are in the trash where they belong.we can get away with that here as we have no emission laws.You still should be able to leave the pump on and just run the shorter belt,it will trip the engine light if you bypass it,you may have to remove the 3 bolts in the pulley of the pump,to clear.

You'll have to use the eliminator because of the serpentine routing, unless you decide to dump more (A/C, P/S). The optimum setup is Alternator, W/P and crank. Switching to a normal rotation W/P in the process will leave you driving only two accessories.

But, just for smog pump removal get yourself the FRPP eliminator. Remove all the hoses to the pump. Plug the vacuum lines, air injection port on the H-pipe and cross-over at the back of the heads. You'll be surprised at just how easy it makes changing plugs with all that crap gone.
