Just a thought. Some jurisdictions require you to have all original equipment even though they do not have emissions inspections. You might want to check with a local inspection station.

smog pump remove

Here in south texas, they rarely check under the hood, and just about every old bronco I have looked at has already had its smog pump removed.
Just plug any hoses or fitting that have lines from the pump.
You don't gain any noticable horses from the removal, but you do gain a cleaner more accessible engine compartment.
Oh yea, smaller belt.

Good luck bro.
