RB exhaust ranges from about 550 to 680 depending on whether you want the single or dual outlet header. As for the skid plate, go to a wrecker and dig one out.

I have a good skid plate from an '85, I have no clue if it would fit on a '79 though.

RB exhaust- www.racingbeat.com I'd go with the Street-Port system instead of the normal one.

Taking off the air pump is easy, but if you still have cat-converters then you need the air pump so they don't destroy themselves and clog your exhaust. If you don't have to worry about emissions, then no problem, take off the air pump and take a BIG screwdriver or pole and hammer to the cats.

I'm in Westerville, about 1 hour away from Xenia.
