De-Smogging an early 22R
Well, I have been threatening to post this for a while, and so here it goes.
I recently completed a complete de-smog on my 22R. In the process of doing this, I was amazed by the wealth of info on the carburetion for these trucks. I was also completely amazed by the lack of information on how to effect a de-smog. I know it is frequently done, and several companies (such as LCE) make block plates for smog components, but I couldn't seem to find a complete description of the best way to make this happen. So, after the fact, I will document here the steps that I took to make this work, hopefully this can be of some benefit to others in the future. Please excuse the lack of work-in-progress pics, my camera was unavailable until after I had completed the work.
With no further ado, here's the start.

The Process
So there are several parts to this puzzle:
1)Removal of the EGR valve
2)Removal of the PAIR valve
3)Removal of the Air Injection Manifold (the feed tube from the exhaust manifold to the PAIR valve)
4)Plugging the Air Injection ports on the exhaust manifold
5)Vacuum / Vacuum Switch removal
6)Vacuum re-installation
We will address these one by one.

No before shots, alas, my camera was with the wife at the beginning of the project. I will try to fill in as needed with shots shamelessly stolen from other people's rigs

Also for the record, I feel compelled to state:

First, you need to remove the EGR valve, the EGR vacuum modulator, and all attached vacuum lines. Remove the vacuum lines, and then remove the nut circled in the diagram below.
You can now remove the EGR tube that you previously disconnected from the EGR valve. Here is a pic of the tube, shamelessly ripped off from flyingbrass:
Then, remove the EGR valve from where it bolts up to the head. Here is a shot of my removed EGR, to give you an idea of the location and bolt pattern.
Now, you should be able to disconnect the EGR and remove it.

Next, removal of the PAIR valve or Reed valve. This bolts to the engine, just below the EGR, underneath the intake manifold. Due to the location, it is damn near impossible to get a pic with it installed. There are only two bolts holding this to the block, but finding them will be difficult.
The PAIR valve, in all its fury. The rear hose connects to the Air Injection Manifold that is attached to your exhaust manifold. The front hoses normally would go to a smog pump, I believe. Mine did not have one from the beginning, so they just had rags stuffed down the hoses. Obviously, it was doing a lot for me...
Here are two pics that show the mounting holes. The first shows where they are located, but you can't see the holes themselves that well. The second shot shows the side of the PAIR valve that is usually flush against the block, the mounting holes are clearly visible.
More posting tomorrow, I am out of steam now =)

HEY want a pic of the reed valve installed on the engine?
cuz i can get you one tomorrow.
I have a complete 22r pulled out of an 81', and sitting in a cj2a frame without a body on.
So if you need extra pics just tell me

SUBSCRIBED!!!
this is awesome, i was wonering about taking off the EGR because mines drawing too much vacuum through a leek, now i just need to make some block off plates. no smog regs wher i live, thanks pumpkinyota

Man would that be great! That has to be the worst visibility of any place on that block. When I pulled mine, I ended up pulling the intake, and cussing a lot when I saw that there wee only 2 12mm bolts holding it on the block...
