It's an equal amount of work to remove the smog pump, get proper sized freeze plugs into the lines, get delete plate for EGR valve, and buy a shorter belt, as it is to just replace it with another used one, or reman'd. And then have to worry about visual inspection. Just depends on how thorough your state is. Here in Colorado they don't even look under the hood but to make sure there's an engine in there, yep. Also make sure to write down the shorter belt part number and keep it in the car somewhere in case you ever break down. Removing it won't affect warm emissions on the car, only the first few minutes of cold start.
