Pulley Problems!!!!!!!!

if thats the smog pump, yes you can get rid of it by switching to a shorter belt. I'm pretty sure that it's your water pump though. You can check out this diagram to be sure though.

If you bypass the smog pump the cats will clog up so you better remove them or gut them while you are at it.
