Question A relly sick 307"

Hello,guys
Greetings from Norway.

I am posting this in the Pontiac 82 & newer forum as well

I have a `84 Buick Electra estate wagon with an Olds 307"...
(I`m sorry...I forgot...You will have to pretend it`s a Pontiac Safari... )
The car is not running well at all.It has a rough idle,and dies on me on intesections.It also performs lousy in the entire RPM range and it definately sounds like I have a exhaust leak.It also felt like it was not running on all cylinders.
Well,I have found an exhaust leak in the LH emission tubes that come out of the head.The pipes goes through a couple of valves and on to the AIR pump beneath the A/C compressor.
(Must be half a mile of vacum hoses an valves all over the engine compartment )
I replaced my spark plugs yesterday,and in doing so,I managed to break of the tube on the RH side just below the valve.
It still has a rough idle,and still dies on intersections.

My thought; Could the apparent exhaust leak in the emission pipes cause this behavior,and if so,Is it possible to remove all of the hoses/pipes and AIR pump,and STILL get the engine to work OK??

I am sorry...this turned into a loong thread.

Really appreciate any help You can give me

Stig
