Hey asshat, what in the car is expecting the pump to be there? 85 is on
the cusp of the computerized era. I know my 85 GT had some sort of ECU.
What sort of primitive engine mamangement does this car have and how
might it be affected by removing the smog pump?

I like your junkyard mentality. If its broken, rip it out. Do you fix
rust by cutting holes in your cars too? I'll bet you have cars up on
blocks in your yard too? Any chance you and kate are from the same area
of alabama?

Fix the fricking thing right if its in good shape. Otherwise bypass the
belt.
