No, you dont have to disconnect it...It makes no difference whether its disconnected or bypassed with a short belt, the end result is the same...

Basically, the smog pump pumps air into the cylinder heads...When you get rid of some of the air in your mixture, it will go lean....
Personally I wouldn't mess with the smog pump on a daily driver...But, if this is your project or race car, then I would take it off or bypass it...
I noticed a small hp improvement if any...I mainly did it to loose weight off the front end and one of my smog valves was bad anyway... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
