pulley?

hey, so my car is geting look at right now about my tranny mount, so i can not look at it, but here is my question. What is the pulley under the ac one? it is right under it, it is making a squeek noise and i need to pelace it, just wanting to know what one is it? Oh ya the car is a 92 camaro r.s 305 tbi automatic.

its your smog pump. you can take it out if you dont have any emissions testing. Otherwise go to thirdgen.org and dig around the classifieds for people parting their cars or post in the parts wanted section. There may even be someone here with one. Are you going to put a polyurethane tranny mount in as a replacement?

how much more is the mount? and where do i get them?, just a auto parts store?

i thought the tensioner was under the ac

and about the smog pump, if i remove the pump, what about that pulley? do i have to get a diffrent belt now?

if you could find a speed shop locally you could get one there. Otherwise go to http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10002&storeId=10001&categoryId=13001&parentCategoryId=10059&langId=-1 and order one. Small stuff like that usually ships pretty quick. Did your guy look at the mount? If you get under the car and gently push up to the transmission and see if the mount is split. The same thing happened to me in my car. Any time you gave it some gas in a low gear there would be a loud thud. Scared the crap out of me. Changing the mount is pretty easy if your familiar with working on cars.

that is EXCATLY what mine is doing, at like 40 and under in a low gear or when i torque it it sounds like the tranny just went threw the damn floor. I am going to have the guy look at it to make shure that is what it is, and if so, i will do it myself.

my tensioner is to the right of the a/c unit. is it a big pulley or a small pulley?

heres a link with info about taking off the smog pump.

is the pulley in that picture?

that is not the same motor as mine, i have the tbi, and there is another pulley under the a/c.

it's the smog pump then.

ok, but if i remove it, do i have to get a diffrent belt? bucause that pulley won't be there any more.

different motor same serpentine setup. In that picture the smog pump has been removed. i just wanted to make sure it was the smog pump we were talking about. In that link I gave you there should be the belt size that you would need if you removed the pump. When you remove the pump the pulley comes with it as well as all of the smog lines that clutter up the engine bay.

i think i will just get a new pump, because i have emisions here, but is emisions only on 96 and up?

also if i remove the pump, will i gain any hp?

it would rid the driveline of some resistance. So technically yes.

what about all the lines tho, like the ones out of the exhaust manifold, do i just cut and plug them shut? And what about the line to the cat? do i plug it also?

the rubber hoses from the pump just screw onto where all of metal lines off of the headers come together. You can unscrew that and cap it off or just get new headers without those lines. As far as the tubes going down to the cats those can be removed. Just cut them off of the cats and close the holes. There is a small chance that your SES light might come on. Few people have a problem with this but it is still possible.

what does the ses light mean?

i found a smog pump delete pulley on ebay, but they want $65 for it, i think i am just going to take mine off. What size belt will i need if i do that?

sorry i found the belt on that link, thanx for all your guys help!!
