Can we get some pics of your engine bay, to know where you're starting from? I'll see if I can dig up some pics of my smog pump delete, although from my experience and general consensus on this thread the biggest advantage to removing the smog system is just to clean up the engine bay-no real performance improvement. It DOES clean up the engine bay a good bit though.

Wow...so someone has definitely been removing a lot from that engine. Not sure if it was you or not, but I know it can be confusing to come into an engine that's been screwed around with and try to figure out where to start.
I'll see if I can take some pics of my engine with the whole EGR deleted later. You don't HAVE to remove the EGR valve because it is closed by default if it is disconnected, but a block off plate is cheap and I think it cleans things up a good bit.
