I welded the smog injection tube on the h-pipe and replaced the pump with a Ford Racing idler pulley. A pulley is not necessary though, because you can take the pump off and just run a shorter belt. I had the pulley left over from the '84 5.0 i had so i threw it on since the belt was fairly new.
Anyways, if you get rid of it what you'll need to do is:
1. Plug the H-pipe tube from the air pump
2. Plug the air supply tubes to the back of the cylinder heads. (I pulled them off -one bolt per side, cut the tubes off 1" from the block part, crimped it together, cut it, welded it)
3. Pull off the smog pump
4. get a shorter belt, i believe corral.com has an article on running a shorter belt to bypass where the smog pump was.
hope this was of help
