Can your smog pump go bad?
Just wondering as put everything back on. My smog pump does not turn smoothly. Is that normal being a pump and all?

Jim - No smog pump on mine and passed Ontario emissions- which are less stringent for an engine changed car. Have an extra Speed density computer if you need it as I changed to mass air this year. Runs and idles better. Vic

Im going to get rid of the smog pump. What all can I remove with it? Also where do I get vacuum from for the brake booster?

There should be a bunch of nipples to attach vacuum hoses to. FPR, brake booster, evap and other emissions use vacuum.
The Mustang may have had a vacuum tee mounted on the firewall, but you don’t necessarily need it as the plenum should have an abundance of nipples. I had to cap some of mine off as there were more than I needed even without the tee.
My brake vacuum hose is attached directly to the upper plenum where the tee normally attaches.
Here’s a good pic towards the bottom of the page.
