air pump on 67
 

Hi - can any one help me, my standard 67 has what looks to be a belt driven air pump which is hooked up to a series of pipes that come from the exhaust manifold and end up at the inlet manifold. My question is this, can I disconnect this system and will it have any effects on the engine?:rolleyes:

Your actually still in the wrong forum, haha. Should be under classics. I didnt know any classic mustang came equipped with a smog pump. (I dont believe it should have) Anyway you shouldnt have a problem removing it all, just make sure to plug up any holes. Your motor might take a bit longer to warm up. If you have some time you should post up some pics of the engine and the car in general! Good luck.

The VIN number should be stamped on the block behind the intake. Also behind the starter (Maybe)
