My Questions I want to elimitate air pump and EGR system as to EGR system can I put a blocked dummy EGR valve and block the heat tube from exhaust to intake,,,will this help or hinder the performance.. My intension to keep smogg stuff on to look orginal but inoperative...Any suggestions will be appretiated on engine also auto trans up-dates if any...Thank You Leo
