Where is the AIR pump on a Pontiac trans am?

The location of the air pump (also known as the smog pump) on a Pontiac Trans Am depends heavily on the year of the car. Pontiac Trans Ams, like many cars of that era, only had air pumps on certain model years and emissions regulations varied by location. There's no single answer.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Determine the year of your Trans Am: This is the most critical piece of information.

2. Consult a repair manual specific to your year and model: A Haynes or Chilton manual will show you a diagram of the engine bay and pinpoint the location of the air pump (if equipped). Online resources like forums dedicated to Pontiac Trans Ams can also be helpful.

3. Look near the engine: If your model year had an air pump, it's typically located near the front of the engine, often attached to the engine block or near the exhaust manifolds. It's usually a relatively large, somewhat cylindrical device with pulleys and belts.

Without knowing the year of your Trans Am, it's impossible to give a precise location.
