next question... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Since I have the engine out of the car, I wnt to get rid of all the junk that I don't need.

It has all the power robbing CA smog stuff, as well as the smog stuff that came standard on a 1976 914. I'd like to take as much of it off as I can. As it is, a lot of it was unhooked, but still bolted to the engine. However, the engine was not running (wire harness is burned at the coil (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)) so I don't know what is needed to keep the engine going and what is not.

Also, is there any benefit to going to a K&N filter off a PVC elbow (like what *gasp* AA sells)? It looks dead easy to make, and I think someone on this board had made them.

get a better exhaust (see your other thread)

only power robbing device (besides your exhaust) is the drag of the smog pump, not sure if you can legally remove it or not in your state, if so, take it off and put it in a safe place in case the smog laws change.

for the smog ports in the heads, you can leave the air injectors in as long as you plug it one way or another. most people remove the air injectors and plug them individually...do a search for the many methods.

the exhaust on you year car is the main culprit, the smog stuff is not that big of a deal, a little extra weight if anything...
