Ok awsome. So if I take the exhaust manifolds off then I can take that belt driven smog pump off right? Plus that should be nice, one less thing out of the way. Also Denny, I plan to get an edelbrock Performer carb instead. This stock one is gummed up like crazy. The truck never starts up right away, takes it a while. The guy said he pumps it twice, tries cranking and then two more time. I just hold it to the floor and right when it gets to the floor I crank it. That way works easier for me at least when I tried it. Only thing is that I still have to get inspection but today some kid said on his Honda car (ricer) he gets the exhaust check where they put the probe in the tail pipe and check for the exhaust gas. His car is like a 02 or something so I am hoping they don't do that to mine. I want to get a Edelbrock carb, intake manifold and a cam kit. I will hold on the cam kit for now but just wanted to add that. Also I will get some glasspacks with some headers. I am thinking, if I can't find someone to just pass this thing for me (which my dad said he may know someone) then I am going to keep the old cats and pipe, etc and just cut the pipe to where I can put the whole assembly on and off easily and switch it out when inspection time comes around.
Ok so here are my two other questions. (doing it this way to make it easier to follow along since when I type I kind of go all over the place and get mixed up).
1.) Can I take that pump off and the belt?
2.) Is it ok to take that wire crap off and run a Edelbrock carb and intake manifold to free up some power?
3.) Cerma-Coat Headers from Dynomax any good? They have Jet Hot coating inside and out and are 16 gauge tubing and stand up to 1300 degree's F. $240 from Jegs, part # 289-86003

Seems like Hooker headers are about 300- 400 bucks for the coated ones or even plain besides the Comp headers which are about 160.
Thanks a lot guys! Dave, sorry for bailing out on you like that today after I asked you that question. I didn't want to sound rude but I looked at the clock and saw that I was already supposed to be headed to the college already.
