Default Smog Question

You guys know the drill, you start to fix something minor and it turns into a big job..

I started to replace a leaking exhaust donut on my 73, right side with A.c, Yes the manifold studs broke, no they still wont come out with some high heat. So, removing the exhaust manifold, cant get it off without removing the smog tube. Why would I think the smog tube would come off? Hell no!

So, I may have to cut the d*mn thing off. Who supplies these and which supplier? I recent ordered some stuff from Z*P, and over half the items are on backorder. Any idea?????
