Default Remove Smog, increase/decrease my vacuum leaks??

So i currently have a poor idle in my car i believe is caused by a vacuum leak.

I was thinknig about removing my smog stuff, but i was just wondng if this is going to make a bigger mess out of my vacuum leak situation, or possibly fix it.


Look at the smog thread now ( the 6 pgr) it looks like i am going to create more leaks then i want...

It will not really do anything. Basically you pull it out and plug all the connections, so it shouldn't change a thing.

i'm doing my smog and egr just to clean up some stuff thats not needed in FL. and to clean out the engine bay a little. i think the less there is, the less that can go wrong. imo. that 6 pgr is a lil mess but theres not much out there for doing the exact process. thinking of writing one up
