you can but you will have to change the pulley arrangement around to try to fit onea ndit will be trial and error to do this. you;ll porbably have tokeep the smog pump to fit the belt. All that does is pump air into the exaust anyhow. Ifyou are in one of the states that have emission testing you'll need it anyhow to pass.
