Everything is tore down except the exhaust manifolds, motor mounts, transmission, and power steering lines, after I get those out then the motor is ready to pull

Looks like you have an A.I.R. (AKA smog) pump but no AC. Are you going to delete the pump? If not you should find a CA (or other restrictive state) calibration (.bin or chip) instead of a Federal one. Do you need to pass emissions?

no, where I’m at we don’t have those emissions tests, I’m going to delete the pump, and just run short tube headers, be a whole lot easier and cheaper instead of trying to get those lines out of the exhaust manifolds

Summit Racing has shorty headers for the A.I.R. system.

I had to modify them a little to work with my filter but it works.

That’s good to know, although Ill probably go ahead and delete it so I don’t have to worry about the pump, I figured I’d just get an idler bracket and idler pulley to go in its place to give the bay a cleaner look, especially since the fittings for the lines to the manifolds are rusted like crazy and will break before they unbolt
