85 Camaro smogless?

This 85 Camaro has no evidence of smog pump. Or air pump. No wires. Nothing. Did they all have it?

The schematic shows manual transmission only. There are no unused connectors I can see.

All that stuff is removed usually. Every car I get that's the first thing I do.

It’s all on my 85 with a 305 TPI, has to be or it won’t pass California smog.

Re: 85 Camaro smogless?

All I can say is good luck. There are a lot of LKQ junkyards in the greater social area. They even have an app. While stationed here I have grabbed a lot of rare parts from this area of the country. So you should have luck finding a car in a local yard with the whole Smog A.I.R system intact. But with that being said. As I look onward approaching my last two weeks living in this forsaken place. I can also look back with a smile when remembering all the times I was sitting next to a cop in my Smog-less and Cat-less Trans Am. Illinois plates.

Re: 85 Camaro smogless?

Does it still have an emissions label under the hood? That would tell you if it once had AIR or whatever emission systems it was built with. One clue to AIR delete is pipe plugs in the exh. manifolds where tubes once lived.
