You need to read your state and federal laws before we can make that determination regarding the emissions equipment. My 250 is an 81, which does not require emissions in Texas, but does in California. Also, once we know what stays and what goes we can give better guidance on the wiring.

Just did all that on my '84 You can remove the complete wiring harness that comes from the "computer" (removed that too) got 3 wires coming from the dash, Oil, Temp, Tach, and 1 for ignition. That's it.
