This thread is the result of many hours of research and questions asked. I am using it to compile the final data for how to desmog a 79-80 FJ40 while still retaining beneficial systems. This is not intended to be a debate on the merits of desmogging your vehicle, those discussions exist elsewhere.
That being said, if any of the following looks inaccurate let me know and I will edit.
The following diagrams show the stock emissions system

By desmogging we eliminate the following systems:
Air Injection (AI)
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Choke Opener (CO)
And we retain the following systems:
distributor advance
deceleration fuel cutoff (i.e. vac switch, fuel cutoff solenoid)
evap (i.e. fuel tank and carb bowl venting, charcoal canister)
choke breaker (CB)
hot air intake (HAI)
distributor cap vent
hot idle compensation (HIC)
positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
-optional- High Altitude Control (HAC)
The following schematic shows the overall result w/o HAC, w/ HAC will be discussed later.

The following posts will outline these systems individually.
