Has any one put a york compressor in place of the smog pump on the early '80s 22R?
If so, do you have pics?

No pics, but I've installed one on my 22re. Used the lower mount of the smog pump from a 20 or 22r. Snug fit, but well worth the effort.

Cool, thanks for the input.
You say it was worth the work; how much work?
Do you know what extra materials you needed for the mount?

whats the point of doin this? and what do the two objects do?

A smog pump is part of the emissions system, and a York is an AC compressor that can be used as a regular compressor for on board air...
o.. thats pretty cool. so how is the smog thing replaceable with the compressor??? does the compressor still do the same thing as the smog filter? and does it use what the smog filter is suppose to clean to run the compressor? basically why would you put the compressor in place of the smog filter?

No, you toss the smog pump.... Can usually pass emissions without it anyway....
so why is it better to replace the smogg pump rather than just adding the compressor and leavin the pump???

No room.... The Yorks are pretty big.
As written above. You toss the smog pump and use the lower mount as a swivel point. I built a platform to hold the York and attaches to the swivel point to adjust the belt tension.
The York puts out a huge amount of air. Great to fill up tires, run air tools etc...
Lots of work mainly cause I needed to remove loads of stuff to have access to the area and design a way to build the mount. I also installed a 2.5 gallon air tank and forward and aft quick connects for airlines. With the engine running at about 1500 rpm I can run a 5/8 air line and fill a tire maintaining a system pressure of 90 PSI !!!

Any way you can get some pictures of the install and any information on any special brackets you had to make or ????? Any more info is appreciated.
I'm away from my 4Runner for a couple more days. I'll get something for yah by the weekend.
I used the lower half of a smog pump mount. Mounts right up to the block. Then I built a platform and swivel for the York. It's pretty tight, loads of trial fits to get the location just right, have to allow for the york to tilt left and right to tighten the belt.
There are three sizes of yorks, 7, 9 and 11. I used a nine. There's loads of info on that on the web.
Also, on the air intake I used a small K&N filter. The output is routed to a 2.5 gallon air tank. From the air tank I have three airlines, two for air output, front and back. The third airline runs to small manifold with a 12 volt pressure switch, 80-120 PSI, and a small air pressure gauge. For safety, I have a 150 PSI pressure switch on the airtank.
I really like my system. Well worth the many hours I put in to set it up.

I pulled my smog pump and bracket off last night, the pump was seized but the bracket slid right out. It is fairly obvious but the bracket shares a bolt with the motor mount.
After some analysis and measurement, I decided that the pivot will be fairly hard to replicate (any photos of this would be nice). Though, conveniently enough, the adjuster slide will line up with the front body of the York, so I can just fabricate a bracket that bolts to the front crank cover for belt tensioning. I will post pics as I make more progress.

I converted my AC compressor to an onboard air system. Used a machine tool oiler to lube the incoming air, ran it through a pressuer switch set at 65 lo and 125 hi. I ran a protected air hose down the passenger side frame tube to the bed where I have a removable 5 gallon air tank. The whole system is controlled by a master arm switch in the cab that when activated lets the pressure switch turn on the compressor. Depending on RPM it'll fill the 5 gallon tank in about 2 minutes to 125 psi. Works awesome.

Xrtim, Welcome to Mud!! 
<-- Mud salute 
Can we see some pics of your set up? And any more helpful details on making it work, thanks!

I went out to the yard and snooped around today. I found one carburated 22R w/ A/C so, I just jacked the bracket, pump, and hoses(luckily the system was empty already). The A/C bracket bolted in place of the smog brackets with no modifications. I am gathering the last few pieces and it should just fall together. I will try to remember to take pics as I go.
I hope that you got the ac hoses as well, after running for a bit the air coming out of these things can reach 350 to 400 degrees.
I could not keep a hose on it. untill I picked up the ac hose.
also make sure that your filter is rated at least 200 degrees and put alot of pluming between the pump and the filter.
you also need a one way valve to keep the pressure off the pump.
I let my fittings before the one way valve leak a bit to release the pressure for the next cycle start up.
I have filled up 24 tires in one sitting with this, as a trail leader for the Black hills 4 Wheelers Dakota Territory Challenge in September.
when ever I change oil I put a 120 to 200 cc of oil in it. depending on how much I have drained from the filter.
I run a 5 gallon tank under my tool box... that it why there are 2x4s under the edges of my tool box. that and a 12.5 tire deflated fits nice and tight under there.
and the spare doesnt move much even on the extreme.
