A.I.R. Pump
If I remove the belt to the AIR pump, what can I expect to happen?
Do I need to adjust anything?
Is this a bad idea?
Alternate sugestions are welcome and appreciated.

Just had 2.5" duals installed w/ FlowMaster 50's - Cat gone.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Re: A.I.R. Pump (SCS Red80)
Given the number of cars that this equipment has "fallen off", I don't see it as a problem. Not sure if Oklahoma has emissions inspections but states that do have inspections require these systems to be in working order.

Re: A.I.R. Pump (mapman)
remove the A.I.R pump, that's easy.
Just take it all off. Remove the A.I.R. pipes from the exhaust manifolds too. When you do, there are little extension tubes to take out of the manifolds as well, don't forget them. Then just use pipe plugs with some anti-seize to plug the holes in the exhaust manifold.
No adjustments need to be made.
If you want, to sell the parts let me know. I am looking for a working A.I.R. pump from a L-48 1980, but mostly need the bracket that holds it to the motor, mine broke.

Re: A.I.R. Pump (BSeery)
Thanks for the replies.
No Oklahoma has no emission requirements - I guess the wind blows so damn much here were breathing New Mexico air anyway! :)
As far as taking everything off - well I was trying to avoid all that for now, I was just wanting to remove the belt from the AIR pump and go from there - probably have the engine rebuilt this winter and have everything taken off then.
So for now off comes the belt and hopefully the popping/cracking sounds from the exhaust go away.
Thanks,
Steve
