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

[Mr. Chevy]

Good move with modifying the smog system... It makes for less headaches especially by gutting the pump and most of all if your going to actually drive the car... The roof nail idea is clever.. A friend of mine machines little metal plugs that fall into the smog holes on the manifold and are machined with the exact bevel as the bottom of the smog hole so the plug seats right down into the hole then you screw the tube onto the manifolds...

JMO of course...
