I am getting new manifolds (and exhaust) for my W126 420SE, and there is no way I am going to bolt that ugly smog pump to my new shiny manifolds. I looked at it closely, and a line goes up under my air cleaner from that disc shaped thing, but a stiff metal pipe goes behind my motor....so what is involved in removing the smog pump and all components involved? Also, my state does not do emissions tests, but if I ever had to do one, would this make me fail (still with a cat)? Thanks for any help.
