Smog pump removal 1991 351W

[Jimi61]

I hope I didnt go too far !

I have removed my smog pump [no smog required in my county] and started removing the associated plumbing. Is there any of it I should retain? I currenty run cold air intake and MSD ignition. I plan to add headers and dual exhaust [no cats]. I believe this is as far as I can go without converting to Mass Airflow. I was also considering a throttle body spacer.

yo,

Even though you don't have the local law there... there is an issue w/smog all over

and your cat converter needs the sys to operate properly.

Removal in a 93 5.8; "... I replaced the heads I took the air system off and have not have any codes but I made my own vacuum lines with mostly 3/16 fuel line there is a vacuum thing on the passanger side above the exhaust and one on the hose that comes up from the cat they go to two different sensors I just tied them together just remember the black goes to the top and tie the bottom ports together with small hose I used fuel line just because they are thicker..." see pics
