Very cool! But deleting the emissions stuff wouldnโt get you much. The problems are more related to the low compression ratio, very conservative cam and restrictive exhaust. Fixing those is where the real gains would come from with a car like that. Could get it from the anemic 190HP of its era (assuming itโs not the new-for-1975 Bendix EFI version that gave you 215HP) to maybe 250HP or so without risking anything. But itโs gonna reduce that glorious 11mpg youโd get even more, to probably around 9mpg or so.
Iโd never want to own it, but I love that 5,300 pound absurd car.
