I'm currently putting back together my TPI intake on my 80 Camaro. The engine is from a 1986 Corvette (iron heads)
What can I remove from the engine to clean it up? I am removing the EGR valve, and the charcoal canister and such. I am also looking to remove the AIR pump and accessories.
I do not need to worry about emissions, and this is not going to be a daily driver. Just the occasional cruise, and jaunt along the country roads.
I know that I have the option of tuning the PROM so that it does not negatively affect the computer, and drive-ability.
I'm sure there are people who do not see the point of doing all this, as I have read many threads about removing the EGR and the process.
I am just looking to clean up the engine bay as much as possible.
If anyone has any recommendations, or has done this before, I would like your advice.
Here is a pic of where it stands now. I plan on doing as much as I can with the wiring. Its an absolute mess!
Loose the air pump. $135 will get you a replacement pulley that will open the top end up for you. And I would get some wire looms for the spark plug wires. I am doing all this now on an '86 l98 that is going into my '78 C3.

Before I had taken apart my intake, I ran as many wires as possible under the intake. Such as the fuel injector wires, MAF wires, and the several wires that ran to the alternator.
Cleaned it up a bit, and took them off the side of the valve covers
Sounds like you're on the right track. I have an 85 corvette with that same air pump bracket, and I deleted it by making a bracket with a small idler pulley and shorter belt. Looks much better. You will need to delete the EGR in the prom to prevent the code from setting.

I was actually thinking about building a bracket like that. Do you haveany pictures? How did you do it?
