I want to install an h-pipe on my 87 5.0, but don't know the proper way to eliminate the smog pump. I would like to know the right way to eliminate the hose and do it right the first time. I know I will have to replace the belt but don't know which one I need. I've been told it's the same as a V6 belt? Any advice on what steps I will need to take and what all is involved in this task would be greatly appreciated.

just remove the pump and plug the back of the cyl head

with regard to belt size this will help.....

What do I plug the back of the cylinder head with, can I purchase a certain plug for that or do I have to make something? This will be my first time removing a smog pump and I'm not familiar with it. I think two small bolts hold the hose to the back?

if u clean the holes really well u'll find that that holes are threaded, ill post the tread size later

I'm sorry, but I'm still a little lost? I guess I will have to pull everything off and look at it. I'm not familiar with it but I guess there is only one way to learn! Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I deleted all my smog stuff. I keep the same belt and got the smog delete pulley pretty nice. There is a pipe going across the back of the motor by the firewall that connects to both heads. If you deleted everything like i did you need to plug those hole in the back of the heads with a BOLT....I got alot of 411 from the articles posting at the top of the page and walks you through the entire process..VERY simple mods....good luck
