Re: 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.

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

Re: Pulley Problems!!!!!!!!
the smog pump is an emissions device but it takes power to run it so most people eliminate it assuming you aren't required to keep it remain emmisions legal

If you look at this link it will show you an acessory belt diagram. The smog pump is the one labeled a/p. (air pump) |
