I just bought an 81 Doba w/slant 6.

I want to disable the airpump, and it runs the a/c compressor (which works BTW), so can I route a belt around this? It looks like there's no adjustment if I remove the airpump.

Also, how do you adjust the idle mixture (where's the screw) and idle speed. It's a single barrel carb.

Even the factory 6 cars without the smog pump got an adjustable pulley in its place for the belt tensioner

Sure'd like to talk you out of that pulley setup!!

I'll check next time I get down there and see if I still have it. I live about 50 miles away from where all my stuff is. Should be down there sometime this week.

Do you care if I use that picture for reference?

Thats cool with me.

Always want to ask first. Thanks WM.
