Hey gang,
I have a 266 V8 that I am working on and have a question about the smog / emissions system. First let me say the engine runs great, nice idle, plenty of power etc.
My question is about removing the smog system. Will this affect the way the truck runs? As you can see from the pics, the pump is plumbed through a valve that diverts into the block via the injection rails. The only other connection is a small vacuum line to the carb. I don't want to hurt the performance of the engine so I'm cool with leaving it in place. Just trying to de-clutter the engine bay and also don't want to be "hunting" for parts down the road when the pump and valve wear out. If it is cool to remove it all, do I just cap the carb vacuum input and plug off the holes where the air injection enters the block? Thanks so much guys.
