Are there any write ups on smog system removal that you guys know of? What all can I remove?
Also, what are the rules regarding emissions? If the car has less than 5000 mile/year it's exempt, right?

the best thing to do is to just run a short belt around the smog pump and put your stock belt on for inspections..
2015 A6 Mustang GT that so far has gone 9.48@147 but still the fastest prochargerd S550 in the world aside from Tim Essick's!

My buddy does the inspections, but not emissions... Plus I'm putting LT's in soon and I want to clean up the engine bay.

I understand that the tube bolted to the back of the cylinder heads gets removed, and those holes plugged. I also realize that the pump itself and the junk next to the passenger side header gets taken out. I'm going to LT's in the process so my catted H pipe will no longer have the egr tube. I'm going to reroute the belt to run without the smog pump.
What do I do with regards to any harnesses or wire connections as well as vacuum lines. I don't want any vacuum leaks and I don't wany codes as a result.

Right but that still doesn't help with regards to harnesses/vacuum lines. I'm just starting to get into engine mods and still learning, any other area of the car I'm fine with. I have no prob ripping off the pollution control crap, but I don't want to rip shit out and end up with driveability problems.

pull out all vacuum linnes that go to any of the smog stuff you remove and cap the intake where needed. pretty simple after your done.

So the egr harness plug just hangs around? Doesn't it throw a code?

everything that was said above and the harness plug need to be pushed down. ill try and get a pic up tomorrow of mine. i just put a plate straight across it to hold it down. as long as its pushed in, no codes are throw.
i keep my under 5k a year so that its exempt. they do not run emissions, so im pretty sure the smog pump is not needed. i never had a problem with mine getting inspected. i also dont have cats.
Remeber Vehicle Is Exempt If Registered In Same Name For Atleast A Year Been Driven 5000 Miles Or Less. Obd 1 Cars Must Pass A Visual Inspection. If Even In Non Im Counties. Obd 2 Cars Gets Obd2 Test And No Visual Inspection Unless In Non Im County Then Gets Visual. In Theory If Put There By The Factory It Must Be Retained.
