Welcome Bmelvin, lots of info here at C3VR, just ask.

No vette is beat...maybe just a little tired

Thanks guys, this is my first Vette although I've had several '60's GM products so I kinda have a general idea.

I want to remove the A/C compressor, the AIR smog pump and the computer controlled Rochester and install a Holley four barrel and a set of headers. Has anyone tried this and if so, how big of a nightmare is this going to be?

Welcome to the site. Try asking your question in the "C3 Engine" Forum, and I'm sure someone will try to answer you. (Not everyone reads the "New Member Introduction" Forum, so it should get a lot of responses in the engine forum.)
