i would remove the smog pump completely, but i live in CA and I need it for visual inspection every 2 years. believe me, this would be one of the first things to go if I had the chance, dont feel like swapping idle tensioners and belts every 2 years for examination.

Then install all the early accessories like I did. No one will ever know the difference. I will look to see if I have my air pump, if so you can have it. I think I tossed it though.

what do you mean install all the early accessories? im sure the smog station will notice my car is a 1993 and expect a smog pump on it..

Do they have a book or something with pictures of every model year with each motor? I pass visual fine here.

My '88 750iL has no air pump, yet my '88 F150 did.

Just use the '89 and earlier M103 parts. Alt bracket, fan bearing bracket, belt, etc.
