I just put on a o/r upr x pipe on my 88 gt. When i took off the stock h pipe it had a lil tube connecting to it and going up into the egr area on the passenger side. I took off the fitting and dissconected this pipe. But the x pipe has no hole for it to go to. I dunno if i can just plug this pipe or what?

that pipe is for the thermactor air system not egr......and just plug the ends

You need to get a pipe that has the tube on it.

mjr said you can and he knows his stuff i have the same thing on my car and i want to find a way to get rid of it i dont know what would happen if i took it out

Nothing happens if you remove pump. It is strictly for emissions. You can put a delete kit pulley in there. I would remove it rather than plug it. Once the pump goes out it will cease up and there is the possibility of busting your serpentine belt. I had it happen.

i had my smog pump freeze up, it broke my belt and is nearly overheated. Unless they check for the pump in your area I would delete it, that one less accessory to worry about and you'll drop about 8lbs.

ok...i dunno im getting mixed reviews on this. and the other post about the samething on a o/r h pipe. it sounds really bad so i guess ill cap it off for now, but i need the smog equip here in california so i cant take off the pump. i hope it doesnt freeze my pump
