hey guys, i know the engine isn't that great, but it's what i've got and i'd like to make the most of it. it's a pontiac 265, and i'd like to get rid of the smog pump. right now, everything is off, including the intake manifold. what will i need to plug before i put everything back together? the smog pump is run off of its own belt, so that's not going to be a problem. if anyone can help, i would greatly appreciate it.

 

Hope your car doesn't have to go through any EPA testing locally, or it will get failed for removing smog items. That said; once the pump and belt are gone you need to plug the air ports that were fed from the pump. Anything else depends on what intake and carb-injection you are planning to use.
