that $27 ac delete pulley will work ok, IF you take it apart, shove some shims between the bearing and center shaft, and then stack washers up until pulley alignment is correct.
no, it does not free up any substantial amount of power unless your a/c compressor is seized. yes, you will lose a bunch of weight. it does unclutter your engine bay a lot. your defroster will not work as well (but still alright). it uses the air conditioning to de-humidify the defroster air. i reccommend doing it 100% if you dont live in the desert.
true duals and longtubes and you are going to be crying every time you see a speed bump if you lower too much. hell, midtubes and ORY at stock height and i have to be careful. there's a scrape mark on my passenger side o2 sensor already.
i'd reccommend longtubes, but (using an ORY) keeping the stock 2 into 1 into 2 exhaust configuration. remember, bigger is not necessarily better when it comes to exhaust on a street car. you only want to flow as much as you need. true duals, or even an x-pipe, are 400+hp territory.
lowering springs are not nearly enough to lower an f-body. you need LCA relocation brackets and an adjustable panhard rod, and a proper alignment afterwards. lowering your car is NOT cheap. if you just do springs, it'll handle like crap and wheel hop like mad. you should get new shocks/struts too, yours are probably toast.
you need poly engine mounts for longtubes, or you're going to hear horrifying clunks as shit hits your floor panels when you stomp on it.
egr blockoff? sure thing. removing the egr, all the vac lines, and the solenoid, removes a bunch of crap thats just in the way.
or better yet, make your own blockoffs. the smaller plate, you can throw a pipe-thread plug where the tube was on the stock plate, and its good to go. the larger plate, just buy an EGR gasket and use it as a template to cut a peice of scrap metal. all it takes is a hacksaw, a drill, and a peice of scrap aluminum. probably a lil sandpaper too, and you'll start learning to fabricate simple parts, which is a great skill.
hope that saved you some headaches
