Default smog pump eliminator

I wanted to get rid of the smog pump (not running cats/no emissions). I had heard that there are some plugs that go in the backs of the cylinder heads and are there vacuum lines associated with them? Are they supposed to be plugged? If so , with what? Any ideas info is appreciated.
Thanks.

you can just take the pump off and leave everything else on.You'll be fine.

I think you mean you can bypass the pump without taking anything off.

There are two holes on the back of each cylinder head. You need to plug them when you remove the tube that goes from one head to the other. These holes are pre threaded but are a real bitch to get clean if you have excessive carbon build up.

Theres one vacuum line on the underside of the upper intake plenum that needs capped. You can buy caps at any parts store. This is the only vacuum source for the smog system.

You will have to plug the tube on the H-pipe. It feeds exhaust to the intake system. You can either plug one of the smog pump lines or plug it down where it comes off of the H-pipe.

You can leave the EGR where it is or remove it but then you have to plug the hole on the EGR spacer. Make or buy a plate to cover it.

There's some junk on the passenger side strut tower you can remove too. Make sure you know what your cutting out as one is a A/C WOT relay.
