i already knew about that, but i'm deleting the air conditioning now too, and already deleted the smog pump.

 

You can't remove the compressor unless you buy an aftermarket braket that lets you swap the alternator to the other side. If you remove it you need to put something in its place. I'm gonna go with an A/C delete pulley as soon as I can find one.

 

somebody posted not too long ago about using a shorter belt when removing the a/c & air pump...

 

I'm sorry, but I forgot who I stole this pic from.

 

Wouldn't the belt's ribs wear out quicker from riding on the tensioner like that?? I've never seen that setup before.

 

Here is how I have mine. Doesn't really show detail, but it can be done.

 

wheres your hood? looks kinda cloudy out from the reflection on your air cleaner, might want to put that hood back on

 

Yeah, I moved the car outside to wash it. Those were taken while I was polishing the paint. The hood is in the process of getting a 4" cowl grafted on.
