The smog equipment is not robing any horsepower on that motor, but yes you can remove the air pump and plumbing attached to it if you like.

If you're looking for maximum HP, upgrade the exhaust and headers. The emissions stuff doesn't have much to do related to power. Its just there to help your engine run clean to please the environmentalists.
