Good question.  My Kammback still has the V-Belts so it was easy enough to just leave the smog pump out of the loop.

This can easily be done.  You just need to lay your hands on the idler pulley setup from a later non-smog-pump serp-belt Eagle (I think '84 and up); plus of course the shorter belt.
