Couple things. There were indeed TWO pumps. The normal one under the alternator and then the second one mounted up high. There were two full size charcoal canisters and not because of dual tanks. Suburbans came with two also and they only have one tank. I'm not sure what years got this elaborate setup, but '86 big blocks had it for sure.
As I mentioned, I have my original pumps, brackets, aux canister and a bunch of the plumbing. You can have it for the cost of shipping, if you would like.

Check out what I just found.
Learned something new today. Insane but that was the time.
the tubes may work but manifolds are a later model. O2 sensor, would be a bust in Kommiefornia if it's there must be hooked up.
Yeah they came off of a TBI truck, but I would bet dollars to donuts if you remove the 02 sensor and install a plug no tester is going to see it
I think if it had 1 air pump most of these kids would pass it, I mean who think there should be 2 except us old guys.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There is usually a picture of the system on the air cleaner or radiator support.
I think we are down to just needing an air cleaner housing.
Should just randomly mount some components and hoses around the engine. Then as long as the tailpipe emission was good, you'd probably pass.
If they ever expand emissions into my area, I will have to get a different truck. Either something older than 75 or a truck that still has the original stuff intact.

Holy cow I missed a lot of traction on the thread, sorry guys! Not sure why I didn't get a notification.
@USSkoval and @Capt Ron you guys are great, I seriously appreciate the offers. I will absolutely purchase those things from you!
One thing before we go too far, I was thinking of taking it to get tested Saturday morning. Just go and pay the money to fail the test... just to see what exactly they fail me on and how bad the truck does. Then I know exactly what I need to put on the truck to get it to pass. Good idea or bad idea?

I think that would be smart.

I did that when I bought my 76. I was living in green valley ranch at the time and the air care was just off Peoria and 70 is a close drive so I just went to see.... they give you a pass for a rest. (Or did) found out i was high on carbon. I then went to O'Reillys and found that they had a jet kit for my carb in stock. So I rejetted it quick and was able to retest the same day.
Passed.
Got to know what your working with before you can go any farther.
My only hesitation is that if they fail me once and tell me what I need to put on, I have to put everything that they say on the truck. If I buy some of the stuff from Capt Ron and USSKoval, and I install it, they might just pass me first go without looking too deep into things.

They will give you a full inspection everytime. In my experience they look it over everything regardless of your past visits.
And that inspection is only as strong as the training of the tech. Some of them are pretty stupid.
LOL thanks for the laugh. Legitimate belly laugh over here.
Try to get there about 10 minutes before they close on a Friday or Saturday. It's worked for me on a couple of occasions.
And buy new gas caps before you go.

I had dual exhaust on my 1993 454. They flagged my truck to the side. They couldn't figure out where the second 02 sensor was.
It really pissed me off how long they wouldn't talk to me and made me wait for nothing.
Finally I told them that a 93 would only have one and it didn't matter that the other bank of cylinders didn't have one. They had their book out and all.
Stupid dummys
Do you guys think the motor would test better with an empty bed (no load)? I have about 9 wheels with tires and then an additional 4 tires in the bed. I'd guess it's about 500-600 pounds total (?)
