Just pull the lines , cap the ports, and remove the pulley for the pump and you pretty much had removed all the controls. Also had a 73 Cosworth Vega that came stock with double overhead cams, fuel injection, and headers. Don't remember the HP but it
would beat most stock 350 Camaros.
I think the Cosworth Vega was supposed to have been rated at 140HP, unfortunately it actually went on sale with a 110hp rating in 1975.
