plug the tube(s) coming out of the rear of the heads, hole in the exhaust where the tube from the pump connects. Cap off the two vac lines that run to the rear of the pass side strut tower. Remove everything that is connected to the smog pump and the pump. Get shorter belt. Do a search and you will find a few different belt length options in my thread about this.

Yeah.... i was rished, so i left the tubes on.... and just made some little metal "caps" and welded them shut....the only reason i ask, is when i shut down the car.... i hear a hissssssss for a second or two......

Sounds great. A bit loud though

You know I thought your car had the full digi dash like mine does for some reason.

I'm hoping it will quiet down with tailpipes. No my car is just the standard LX digi dash:toilet:.

Your car sounds great. Definitely agree that you should get a video driving it.

I filmed a video today of it driving but I don't think I'm gonna post another video until I get one of it with tail pipes. It sounds good right now, just kind of raspy.

This weekend I drove the car as much as I could. Saturday night we took it on an 80 mile trip and then I cruised it around a bunch today. So far it seems to run great and it feels good to be driving it again. I can also leave it parked on concrete and it doesn't "mark its territory". The weather forcast is calling for nice weather this week so I am going to daily drive it for awhile and see if any bugs pop up. I also plan to make an exhaust appointment to get the tailpipes welded on.

they just had to put new down pips on it and replace the flang on it. the exhaust on the car is over 15 years old.

Well I kinda took a long lunch hour today and had my tailpipes welded on. I also had them weld up the inlet/outlet of the lers. I can't believe how much different (and better) it sounds with tailpipes. Before it sounded like a demo derby car...now it sounds totally pissed off. I am going to paint where they welded the tips with some aluminized paint or something to cover up the welded area. Overall it turned out pretty good. I did have to tweak a brake line on the pass. side but other than that it went really smooth.

Stay tuned for vids, but here are some pics in the meantime.
