1989 305 air pump removal

Lyn Smith · 10-06-2016, 07:58 PM

I m working on a 1989 Camaro 305 tbi injected motor.The car has had the air pump removed.I see on ebay there is a replacement pulley GM part number 10186167 that will allow you to delete the pump.It only mentions it for TPI engines.Does any know if it will work for my TBI engine? Thanks

Is this a race or street car?

Ok was wondering why you're using the factory drive belt system if it was a race car.sorry I couldn't help. But I'm not really sure if those cars run any better on the street with the air pump removed.
