emissions removal but want to keep ACV and air pump
This is somewhat related to this thread
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=403500
as I am now leaning (hoping) towards that I just have a vacuum leak instead of a blown motor. I'll do a compression check during the week end.
Alright, here goes i've searched and from my understanding it seems that most people remove EVERYTHING.

https://www.rx7club.com/search.php?searchid=609358
However I would just like to remove the EGR (maybe), the BAC valve, solenoids, and cold start thermowax. But I would like to keep the ACV and the air pump for the main cat because I would like some hope of passing emissions. So my question is it possible for my car to run properly with just the ACV and air pump? And if it is, what are my chances of passing emissions?
Thanks Again!

Why not leave the emissions stuff in tact and just fix the vacuum leak?
Blocking off the EGR basically does nothing. It won't effect tailpipe emissions.
Generally speaking, defeating one part of the emissions system (ie. vacuum solenoids) will kill the rest of it (ie. ACV).
