The smog pump was on all mid-year car, it was the dreaded thermal reactors in 75 that were only on Ca. cars. Removing the pump and adjunct plumbing will not affect performance--neither gain nor loss. You can just remove the pump and leave the under engine plumbing to the exhaust ports as there is a check valve that will prevent exhaust gas from being blown back into the engine compartment. If you decide to remove all plumbing to the ports, there are plugs (sold by Pelican) that screw into the heads once the piping is removed.
