smog stuff
i want to remove my smog stuff the only problem is the pipes going into the manifold are stuck pretty good. I got the hose part that is connected to the pipes off. So I was wondering if I could just cap that main tube off and what size fitting that would be. Thanks I'll check soon I'm in the garage now.

...IMHO I'd leave the original pipes in THOSE manifolds and hunt up another "non-A.I.R. set" from a '74 L-48 automatic, '75 or '76 Corvette or '77-'79 L-48 automatic Corvette. They are fairly cheap & plentiful. You may end up destroying those threads and make them unuseable unless you "weld" the plugs in(which I've seen neatly done)if your threads strip out.
