Since my car passed emissions with flying colors without my smog pump belt on, I'm going to remove it. My mech that did my PPI said he hasn't seen a smog pump on an SC in Tennessee in a long time. I figured it would free up the drivers side of my engine compartment since the passengers side is already freed up. I've researched some threads on the removal and I think I'm just going to remove the pump itself and plug it. I don't want to have to remove the left exchanger since I read what John Walker wrote about the studs possibley breaking. When I go to SSI's I'll plug the injector ports. That said, I read about having to replace some bolts in the drivers side chain covers. Do I have to do this if I leave the mounting base in there? Anything else I should know?

PS: If anyone wants my York or condensor for postage, they can have it. I'm going to gut the rest of the A/C as well. Just let me know.
