I want to remove all of the smog crap on my motor, looks like someone done removed the pump an put an idler pulley in its place. Now im gonna remove the two plastic houseing by the a/c an block off the tubes that run to the headers. My question is will this give me a check engine light?? I noticed there is two plugs for the little houseings on the smog system.:confused:

What year is your car. The 2 plastic housings you speak of came on 85 to 91 Corvettes. On a 90/91 it will cause problems if removed.

Hello 2jakes.
On the 84 it's smog pump is in a different spot(drivers side) as are all the other smog components. Most of the parts under the hood of and 84 are 84 only , Even the hood it self, 84 only.

David, Are there drivability issues that need to be addressed on the 84' after removal of smog equipment?

Hello 2jakes
No driveability problems, You mite hear a little popping from the exhaust when decelerating but it will run fine.
