Id leave the EGR (it helps!) on unless youre going to carb it which in my opinion is a mistake (and I love carbs). Take your time, make a game plan for your mods. air pump delete will make it easier to get to everything and cleans up the compartment.
Best thing you can do for it right now is a true dual 2.5: system and longtube headers. Youll feel it.


I did the true duals with 2.25 aluminized steel and no mufflers and I did not feel it. The car feels much stronger now with a normal set up. I got my kit from midamerica. They claimed 20-30 horsepower. It did get louder but it felt slower on take off. Possibly loss of low end torque....Just my .02 I have stock manifolds though and they are in bad shape(very rusty) so that may be why I didn't feel a big gain.

Did the air pump. Does clean up the engine bay. Pully is cheaply made. I returned mine. Don't waste the money on it. My dad and I gutted mine and if we can do it, anyone can. I used a clay steel to seal off the tubes on the exaust manifolds. I ripped off the steel tubes though. They would not come out easily. Sent them to the scrap yard with other metal. Made a few quick bucks off the useless stuff. The plastic pieces went straight to the dumpster.
