Default Smog Pump Delete

Anyone have any ideas how to do this? I did it on my 91 Firebird to clean up the engine compartment and on my 91 Vette, I plan to do the same because the headers I will get will not have smog provisions and the pump is making noise. Also, I don't have inspections.

Supposedly Ecklers sells it but I haven't been able to find it.

I'm thinking about the one from Dragon's Breath. Looks more stable.
