I'd just like to chime in that I did this mod last week on my 1998 V70 T-5M (I jumped the wires under the ECU) and just got my car smogged in Los Angeles (Smog capital of America) at a Star Station and it passed no problem! I removed the pump from under the battery and plugged the vacuum line but left all else in place. (I mainly did it because my battery had boiled over and essentially killed the pump. And $2 sounded better than $150 or so I'm not someone who wants to delete all smog devices per se). BTW, as my car had been "unplugged" I even tested with my car not in a state of readiness- but no worries! Because the 850s and late century V70s are listed as problematic and will pass even if not in readiness! That is if all else is ok.
