My heads also didn't have the ports for the thermactor on them.Its the air pump system that pumps air into the exhaust ports to break the carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor which is better for the enviroment,... screw the enviroment,... i took mine off,... the pump and all the tubing. i bought a 77 inch belt(if you have a/c and power steering) because you will need a shorter belt when taking off the air pump
