Default Fake smog setup
I have the original smog setup, but it's not on the car.
I like the way the it looks with the smog pump installed, but I don't want it working.

Have anyone set up a fake smog setup?
Got pics? tips?

Yep, its gutted, just for cosmetics. You can go without a belt, too. Watch out for leaks at the exhaust manifolds.

Wow, just what I was looking for.
What do you mean by gutted? The smog pump has no internals?
Do you have the lines plugged at the point where it meets the exhaust manifolds?

My smog pump is gutted and I plugged the exhaust holes with stainless machine screws. I think the screw size I used was a #10.

Just remounted my pump, but still missing one little bracket and one tube.

What parts are you missing? The brackets aren't hard to find.
