Air pump delete?

Is there an aftermarket AIR pump delete pulley available? I will be getting rid of It, and the EGR. I don't know how you would route the serpentine belt without the AIR pump or a delete pulley.

Thanks- Jerry, yes im going with the LT1!

No, there is no pulley involved. The pump is driven by an electric motor, not the serpentine belt. To "delete" it, you unplug it, making sure there is a good fuse in the circuit to prevent a DTC code and the SES light. No HP savings involved.

We have a lot in common. I have the same car ('95 Z28 M6 Convertible) and was born in Jax, FL but moved away in the first grade.

I recently did a bunch of work on my car and removed the air pump for cosmetic reasons. All it does is pump some air into the exhaust when it's cranking and first running then never comes on again. I'm glad to have it out but knew there was no performance gain.
