A/C Delete? Newb Q's

Well pretty much heres the thing, I know its possible but I have some questions.

I might do a AC delete in the future (maybe later this year) but some things I am wondering about. First of all what would be needed? The A/c delete pulley & delete box? What else? Second is, I always wondered is if the Heater would go away with it?

I know it sounds dumb but I always wondered. My Camaro is a T-top car and with good weatherstripping and rust work I feel myself taking them off when I can when it is done. So leaving the A/C to be useless.

If anyone can provide any info that would be great!

the heat will still work.
A/c delete box and pulley is needed. If yours was 89 or older I have everything not sure about 92 though but the 89 and earlier used a different dash (only had center vents the rest were blocked off from the factory)and had pull cables for the vents instead of a vacuum setup behind the dash.

Re: A/C Delete? Newb Q's

I deleted A/C in my 1992 - as stated need the delete pulley and a A/C delete box. You can take the resistor pack off your existing heater box and replace into the new A/C delete box (alot of them don't come with the resistor pack). Heater will work fine. I didn't need the A/C delete pulley because I got rid of the serp pulley brackets at the same time, swapped alternator to pass side, and went to a 1/2 serp 1/2 v-belt setup.

Re: A/C Delete? Newb Q's

Sounds good, So my next question would be about the quality in some of the pulleys. I see on fleabay theres a mix of em and all ranging from $30 to $80 and Autozone carrys one for $30. Would you guys recommend those? What would be the problem with getting the more inexpensive ones? Breaking? Cheap quality?
