just want to know the best place to get a a/c delete pully for my '88 305 tbi trans am.can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

www.partsamerica.com

 

Got mine for $30 off ebay brand new and it works great

 

Not as great as the AC would have worked , had to turn mine on today!!!

 

How much hp dose that give you? Is it worth it?
thanks

You won't gain any HP by removing you're AC as the engine only drives the AC pulley when the AC is actually on. Its more of a clean up under your hood, and shave 40 pounds off the car thing.

 

I guess get that and some nice chrome valve covers and it would be cool.

 

Its especially helpful to have it removed if you're installing headers. I still had my AC when we did my headers last year and what a pain in the ***.

 

Yuck, and more Yuck, I hate the way AC delete pulleys look, and chrome covers are so 70's, if you must delete the AC at least do it where it looks good, there are pulley systems that let you delete the AC without having that ugly delete pulley on there.

 

I dont mind the look of it i know its not the best but what are some of the other pulley systems you can buy? Also how much are they?

 

Here is just one that I know of http://www.marchperf.com/index.html, search and you can find more I'm sure... Price is not cheap, but something can be made to work with stock parts and a little fab. work.

 

Ya its not cheap holy crap thats a rip! damn i think i will spend that much money on like a new cam, stall or something!
thanks anyways

 

Buy a few tools and a good drill press and you can make your own brackets for cheap to use stock pulleys, just takes some skill and time. Then you can make all kinds of other things too.

 

That would be better but i'm not that good with that type of stuff.

 

Very few are these days, it's going to be the downfall of the country when nobody here knows how to make anything anymore.

 

Ya i'm trying to learn about stuff and know how to do some stuff but i just turned 17 to.

 

I just moved my gutted AIR pulley up to the a/c spot for a free delete.

I didn't use a delete pulley on mine. I have the 3.1 V6 and I just removed the A/C compressor and used a shorter belt. I'm not positive about the V8's, but for the V6's there is a belt you can get at Advance Auto, Autozone, etc that was used on 1989 V6's that came from the factory with no A/C. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a V8 but you would have to measure for it first. The one I used was 86" long. Also, I'm not sure which side your A/C is on, mine was on the driver's side. I don't know if that will make a difference or not.

 

V8's NEED a pulley if using the stock serpentine setup. You can remove smog without a delete, but not AC.

 

hey dartbyu are u an old timer or schooled by one u sound like my dad lol before the came out w engine to tranny adapters in the old days he machined them out of aluminum w his dad and thats his saying to me dont by for 20 bucks make it and do it better

 

Not really an old timer, but been a machinist for 20+ years so I'd rather make something than buy something if at all possible.
