I removed everything related to the smog pump from my '85. All the vacuum tubes and wiring crap. I took the AIR pump off, opened it and knocked out the fins inside to keep it quiet and left it on the car. I dont see the point in spending $150 on a bracket with a pulley on it. As far as the exhaust manifolds go I just left mine uncapped. There is a valve in there that will keep exhaust from escaping but it will make a fluttering sound when you drive which is very annoying so I would just go ahead and cap them anyway... or get long tube headers without the pipes

Great idea, free up some space in the engine bay, and remove some ugly piping, Hi my contemplating, removing the air pump and piping as well, is this the same for the LTI motor? seem you guys a doing the L98 motor delete.
