Guys,

How much power do you expect to gain by removing the smog pump? Maybe 2 HP? I doubt you would even gain that much.

Do you guys know what the thermactor system does? Before you do something you may regret, please take a look at the following post.

If you don't have catalytic converters then no problem. They are not there to get damaged :-)

I am not sure whether or not the EEC does engage the thermactor systemon down revs or not ,still investigating that.

If it does, in order to lean out the exhaust, a side effect of not having the smog pump may be having somebackfiring (richmixture igniting in the exhaust)

Removing smog pump/ EGR is more trouble than its worth, I can not see any real world gains from this.
