John,
Could you use a 2nd gen pulley or pump.  I'm using the smog pump (2nd Gen)
and there is no clutch on it.  You will definitely need a suction regulator
though.  When I ran mine it peg the suction gauge with the engine idling.

If I remember correctly, Ed's using a smog pump for vacuum.
Ed, does yours have a clutch? Mine (3rd gen) does, and its quite heavy. I'm
trying to figure a way to have it engaged permanently - maybe a few spot
welds around the rim. There doesnt seem to be an easy way to remove the
clutch and run without it because the clutch forms part of the pully.
Any thoughts anyone?
