went to murray's, got an 85 inch belt... too long! tried a 75, too short. ended up trying 3 more belts before i ended up with 76.5. tensioner is in a good spot, room to stretch, and all the accessories (except the smog pump!) run perfectly. i even noticed better idle quality with teh pump bypassed, leading me to believe i had emissions problems. now it's just dead weight, and coming out when i have a chance.

i found one that's actually really simple, costs all of 10 dollars plus 5 shipping. it's basically just a couple of resistors that plug into the egr position sensor, and you cover it with RTV. comes with a resistor that you solder into the vaccuum regulator harness and eliminates that too. i read the guys' feedback, all but 2 people were satisfied with it and those 2 had problems with shipping. there were well over 100 feedbacks. supposedly, you can contact the company and they'll help you if you have problems. seems like a pretty good shot to me.
it allows you to completely remove the EGR valve and its associated vacuum lines, and has no adverse effects on the computer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ssPageName=WDV there's another one on there that is just a plastic cap that you plug into the harness, but you have to keep the vacuum regulator, so the engine bay isn't as clean.
