Plug Kit 2pk Vacuum Pump Delete GM LT1/LT5

The Plug Kit 2pk Vacuum Pump Delete GM LT1/LT5 by EARLS is an essential upgrade for LS-platform engine builders and performance enthusiasts eliminating the factory vacuum pump assembly. This two-pack kit addresses a common pain point: the OEM vacuum pump adds parasitic drag, reduces crankshaft horsepower, and introduces unnecessary complexity on high-revving modern GM engines. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, supercharged street machine, or maximizing naturally aspirated output, deleting the vacuum pump and replacing its functions streamlines your engine bay while freeing up valuable power at the flywheel.

Engineered by EARLS, a trusted name in high-performance cooling and fuel systems, this plug kit provides precision-machined blanking plates designed to seal vacuum pump ports cleanly and prevent oil weepage or air leaks into the engine block. The two-piece configuration allows independent removal of both the pump drive and vacuum supply circuits, giving builders flexibility in routing auxiliary systems like power brake boosters or catch-can breathers through aftermarket solutions. Compact dimensions (2.4 x 0.85 x 2.55 inches) and minimal weight (0.04 lbs) ensure zero impact on engine balance or inertia, while the precision fit eliminates fitment guesswork common with inferior blanking solutions.

This kit is ideal for LS1, LS3, LT1, and LT5 platform owners upgrading to electric power steering and remote vacuum reservoirs—common modifications on 2020+ Corvette C8 builds and fifth-generation Camaro restorations. Installation requires only basic hand tools and takes under 30 minutes, making it accessible even to first-time modifiers. Pair it with EARLS fuel system upgrades or cooling components for a cohesive, quality-engineered engine bay that prioritizes reliability and horsepower retention over factory redundancy.
