Hey all.
I found a serpentine drive at a bone yard that I picked up.
It has a smog pump on the lower left.
I am running without all th smog stuff and would like to ditch this pump.
Is there a dummy pully avaliable or is there another way?
Thanks in advance for your replys.

Check out the article above. There is also a smog pump delete pulley available from GM. I think the part# is 10129569. Dont buy the cheap aftermarket idler pulleys.

Coupl more questions.
The power steering hoses - Should I use the hoses from the Caprice or bolt on my old pump on hoses.
AC radiator - should I use the one off the donor Caprice?

The P/S hose from the Caprise would probably fit better. If you have both try them and use the best fitting hose. As for the A/C condensor, I don't know. If the fittings on your stock set up are on the pass. side you can use it. If they are on the drivers side you may want to use the Caprice parts.
