Title: air pump
Post by: d2jc on December 07, 2006, 04:51:04 AM
I've seen 'smog pump removed' as a mod on alot of posts.  Is that the air pump?  What's the advantage?  What's the steps to removing?  Does the piping need to be removed?  1987 3.8L.

Most just do it for a cleaner engine bay with less clutter.
