I would like to remove my smog pump on my 91 4.9, my only thing is I would like to continue to use the factory belt and routing. Will a mustang delete kit work? Something like this:
The pump itself is pretty small, just get rid of all the connected plumbing. With it open on both ends the pump won't sap any more power than a pully, it's free, and you know it will fit.

yes, my pump is raising hell now, i took off everything but the pump and its even louder nd its blowing metal chunks out....i have no more cats so theres no use for it....anyone know if the idler pulley thing that fits stangs will work for ours?
i got tired of the noise today, so i pulled the stock pump off(removed alternator, then tookt eh pump pully off so i could get to the top bolt with a socket wrench)....
took the pump apart by removing the 4 bolts on the back, pryed it apart and took the fiberglass blades and metal holders out which gutted the pump, cleaned and repacked the rear bearing and reassembled....selaed the intake and output of the pump with rubber caps.....now my pump is just an idler pully, it doesnt scream anymore and it still usses the stock belt and it cost nothing
