I just bought my truck and I'd like to remove all the smog stuff. Problem is the guy before me started removing stuff and now there are hoses plugged and wires hanging everywhere. Is there anywhere to find some sort of easy to follow removal instructions so I know what to remove?

i recently removed my air pump and associated hardware, but i'm now wondering about other stuff that can go. i'll post a pic of mine as well.

can this be deleted without issue and just plug everything off?

The EVAP canister can, yes. You just need to vent the fuel tank. You can put a filter on the line that goes back there and you're done.
