- Yeah, depends on what you consider a 'smog device'. I can't think of any car I've seen that's got VVT that's still got an external EGR valve - variable cam timing allows for ECU-driven 'internal EGR

- I'd bet it was a Jeep. I have no idea what year however. I believe that disk brakes were an option on early Pintos, say around 72/73. No one knows if any actually left the factory without disks, but
