Default Re: Smog system, should i run it or de-gut and plug??

At least 90% of the cars I restore have non working smog pumps on them. It has nothing to do with robbing horsepower but has everything to do with heat and moisture in the asperator tubes which will discolor and rust them out. On some cars I machine non smog manifolds to accept the asperator tubes but do not drill them completely through so there is no need to plug them.
