Removing Smog Pump
Does anyone have any advice on what needs to be done to remove a smog pump from an 85 f150 with a carburated 351 HO? I would like to be rid of it. I am not necessarily interested in removing other emissions stuff, just this and the myriad of hoses that go with it. I am not in an area where testing is done.

If you have catalytic converters, removing the belt will cause them to overheat. I would suggest removing the cats & the smog pump & putting plugs in the smog passages in the rear of the heads. There may be more involved, but this is all I can think of right now.

My pump is froze up and the belt has been off for a long time, it has not hurt nothing so far. I plan on removing the pump sometime soon.

more then likely you WON'T be able to find a shop that will remove them for you due to the epa blah blah and some other bull. your best bet is to cut em out yourself and take it to shop to have the pipe welded up.
