Default Emission Junk Removal????

How much of that emissions crap can I take off and will it effect the way my car runs?

i've gone so far to taking my smog pump off and it seems to be working fine. i've heard of waterpumps breaking due to a smaller belt, i'll see soon enough. (wouldnt completely mind replacing with a newer better one in the future anyways)

egr vacuum lines are not ran. they never were since i got the car. no overheating or issues that i know of that are a cause of that.

some o/r mid pipes

today the car stalled a few times right after starting it up (even when it was already warm) the only real thing i know that i've changed was the smog pump but that was about a week ago so i think i've got something else going with the stalling.

what else is there?
how will the daily driving be affected?

So I can just block off the EGR with a plate and plug the vacume line? All that crap running from that smog pump? There is another line running from my upper intake which appears to be going under the car? I don't want to take all of that crap off I am scared the thing won't run right with that computer and all. So much clutter under that hood I want to clean it up. Thanks

for the smog pump you should plug the holes in the back of the heads. i've still got in in a "testing" phase so i just plugged them where the rubber hose connects to the metal lines right next to the strut tower. then use a shorter belt unless your going to spend money the delete pulley. i had to use a 75 1/2.

i dont know what that line going from under the upper intake to under the car. i think i have the same one running. at the other end, is it connected to anything? i have a line coming from under the upper with a ball closing type fitting on the end of it thats not connected to anything.

the steel line that goes under the car by firewall connects to you midpipe. You need to cut it out inches before it connects to your midpipe and plug it. Then you either remove the steel line behind heads and plug the heads or leave it and pinch the end shut.

that line running under the car, do you mean running over to the fender apron? if so that may be the evap canister purge valve line. i have mine hooked up right now.
