I own a 95 as well, no smog pump. Lol it actually frees up a bunch of room on the passenger side. The only casution I would throw at you is to make sure the state you live in doesn't check for that. I live in northern Minnesota, and we don't have ANY emissions testing(which is pretty cool). I actually have instructions on how to take it off, lol, and how to get rid of all the piping etc. that goes with that thing. You will have to get the pully that replaces it, maybe a few bolt and some scres for vacuum lines but thats all. Let me know if you need those instructions. Blackdelorean@aol.com

florida has no emmissions restrictions. you could completely delete your smog, cats, and egr system and they probably wouldnt say a word.

its all for emissions, disconnecting won't hurt the engine, just the environment only thing though is you have to get the kit to properly delete the egr to keep from getting a check engine light.. yourcombustion chamber temps will go up while your cruising also without egr which could give you some pinging, but if your car is running properly otherwise it probably wont.

I just ran down to lowes and grabbed two brass plumming caps and caped the bungs on the headers and on the egr inlet. That can be a temp fix, im eventually going to get a simulator off ebay and a block off plate. I cant stand usless items in my engine bay.

I hate the CEL and know I have a sensor out. Going to order this EGR delete kit and get rid of it all.
