    Hey everyone, I’m sure this is probably a stupid question but what is this part right here? It’s right below the alternator and connects to the pulley system. Thanks in advance.

    My guess is that is a smog pump, something put on car to keep emissions down .

    Yep, smog pump. The thing everyone use to take the belt off of.
