Smog Pump Removal: Serpentine
Mustang owners are lucky in some ways.  One way is their ability to bypass their Smog pump simply by using a shorter belt.  Unfortunately those of us with 3rd Gen Camaros must remove the smog pump altogether to get a shorter belt to fit.  I used a Kelly Springfield belt from Autozone part number  967k6.  Just look at the direction everything spins before you begin.  I believe cars with cats that have the A.I.R. system, will become plugged without the pump.  The actual pump is simple to remove.  I even left the A.I.R. piping on the car.  Take out the mounting bolts, and the pipe slides out.  Take a look at the following pictures for a reference, I forget where I got them, but thanks to the owner.  (Contact me for recognition) Remember it is illegal to do this to cars that are driven on the street.
