Anybody have a good write up for this?

The pump has already been bypassed, and the "air line" is gone also.

Don't know of one-- but why do you want to do this? Seeks to me that most people who do this are not quite sure why they want to do it.

And which parts of the system are you trying to delete?

How hard are you willing to work at deleting it????? Hardest part is plugging the thermactor (smog pump) ports in the back of the heads after chunking the rest of the junk.

All of it.

Well it's cheaper to remove it that to have to go through and fix/ replace whats not there.

You know what size it is by any chance?

Actually I'm not at all. Deleting the smog equipment can often yield unintended side effects. Why fix it if it's not broken? The smog equipment is not doing any harm so I'd rather just leave it.

So would would would you not want to remove your emissions equipment if there were no ill effects?

5/8-11 thread. I bought a bolt at the hardware store and made me two plugs from the threaded part. It migt be a PITA but run a tap in thethreads to clean the carbon out and use thread sealer on the "plugs".

Sounds like a cool idea. :)

And the crossover's center junction has 3/4" tapered pipe threads in it, if that helps any.
