Air pump for a 1973 Corvette
Could someone out there give me a picture and a list of things I need to do to put my air pump system for a 1973 Corvette back together. I do not have any of the parts. Everybody has been a great help in the past and I really appreciate it.

Can't post pics due to Village Photo site being down.
When you say everything that brings back some memories. I have a 73 that I foolishly removed all of the smog (A.I.R.) components some years back. When I had to fork out some bucks for registration every two years because all of it was gone, I replaced it all. The year after i spent bucks replacing everything I no longer required smog checks. Go figure. But based on today's prices glad I did it then versus now.
But now, since it all works, I'm keeping it installed.
To add to the list above, you'll need the AIR tubes and exhaust manifolds to connect the tubes ( if your originals were removed and not just plugged). Also depending on how much was changed from stock, you may need to check your pulley set up to see if you can drive the AIR Pump pulley.
You are looking at $600 and above for a complete system.
