Now of course you can do what you want. But if you ever decide to sell your truck all the orginal smog equipment must be in place. FYI

I just hope some smell good hippie doen't get elected gov of California and start up the yearly checks again. Don't get me wrong, I like clean air. Would hate to go junkyardin to re-find all the kinda crud I pulled off. My heads don't have smog injection rales either....

Someone sold me a 73 Ford truck, that didn't have to be inspected or anything of any kind. I took the papers to DMV and they automatically gave me the new stickers. I don't think those old trucks even have inspections of any kind. My truck doesn't even have a diagram under the hood for the engine, so how would they know if it has EGR or not? It's too old to be in the computer even, probably! Anyway just my $0.02.

Ya never know, that stuff doesn’t take much room to store and is very expensive to replace.
Take it from someone who has paid to go down that road.
