87 smog pump delete
Ok, I know this has probably been covered,but I did some searching and reading and started getting lost. So my question is, can somebody send me pics and a description of everything I can get rid of, so my engine bay does not look so cluttered??? I just get totally lost when I start reading and I don't know what stuff I can get rid of and what needs to stay. Any pics would be really helpful.

You replace pump with eliminator (pulley) kit.
Remove EVERYTHING connected to pump.Just follow the plumbing from the pump and delete
Cap the one way valves on the exh manifolds.
Cap the s/s line to the cat or remove at cat.
Tape up and hide the 2 connectors that where plugged into the divertor valves.

The black vacuum lines...cap them off with rubber vac caps.I think the egr vacuum line runs up to the front of the engine.Been a while since I seen them on the motor.They plugged into the air diverter solenoids and dont leave those open or exposed when removing all the AIR junk.

Take the vacuum line that goes from plenum to FPR and A.I.R. valves, and use the parts to run a vacuum line from plenum to FPR.
Rodj covered the rest.
Oh, ignore the EGR tube in the pic, I didn't want that S.O.B., either.

selling this car is not a option no matter how bad the economy gets. My uncle gave me this car to restore and I gave him my word that I would never sale this car. So it doesn't really matter, it will be with me forever.

I'd still save it due to strengthening smog laws that might force the township in which you live to adopt smog inspections in order to receive federal assistance.
well, ya know they did bury some guy in his vette a few years back.....
