Smog pump
Have one question that maybe someone could answer. I have a noisy air pump that sound like a bad bearing that appeared right after I had the car transported down from S .Jersey and read an article in ThirdGen board that you can remove the pump from the car by rerouting the serpentine belt (How to Remove Your Smog Pump From Your Serpentine Belt Equipped Third Gen. by Pablo Morales.) with a longer serpentine belt. Any comments or experience in this validity to that theory? Can it operate just as well or will be something be taken away from the equation? THANKS.

Re: Smog pump
Since you posted here I will assume that you have a 2nd gen f-body. You can remove the belt. I have done it without any ill effects. It will not pass visual inspection. You might smell the cat if you still have one. Other than that, you should not need to worry about it.
