Default Changing a smog pump

Can someone take a few pictures for me, where is it on these cars ect?

A guy who bought some parts from me a few days ago asked if I could change his smog pump, install a new rad in his 89' 5.0L.

I cant remember how hard it would be to change in the driveway, would feel better if I had a reminder on how hard it is to get at.


Thanks in advance...

the smog pump is located directly below the alt. its actually on the same bracket. its really easy to change. (2 bolts i believe) but why does he need it changed? just remove it and get a short belt.

It seized, shredded the belt and put a hole in his rad....

Needs a new one to get the emissions test done, his cars stock.

Thoughts on what i should charge to swap it and his rad? I dont want to charge too much as its not really work, but I do need money for my car....

I could....

I was thinking more along the lines of like $75, it wont take long to do.....

He said he didnt know where to take it, older car and just wanted it taken care of, and wants to have quite a bit of work done to it this summer, so hopefully he will get me to do whatever else, a little extra cash would be nice....

yup, full smog system is about 10-12lbs I would say.

A/C is about 35lbs

aluminum heads save 40-45lbs

Yea, generally if you're standing in front of the vehicle looking down on the engine, it's going to be on your left, down at the bottom. Mustang doesn't have one. But I've removed them off two of my trucks :P
