You will not feel a difference what so ever, however, the space savings in the engine compartment are nice.

that looks alot like what i think it should look like but find out for me if thats the right way to do it on monday also on my car ok thanks ,man your a life saver
I just checked the page on this site.
The top pic is the one you need. If you look, the pulley is still there. The one on the bottom is a TPI engine that someone removed the PS pump. Which for some reason, alot of people do. To me, I'd rather lose a little power, then kick my own *** trying to get the car to turn.
The one I posted is right.
Also, the belt size they talked about was right, thats the one you need.
Also, be careful on the torx bolts that hold the pump in, the ones on mine rounded off and I had a hell of a time getting it out. Although I did take alot of pleasure throwing the pump as far as I could.
