deleting A/C ..shorter belt ..or delete pully ?
Wondering what to do here ... Or is there only one way to go ? I am putting on a BBS turbo kit and the A/C has to go . But I figured I would just todd on a shorter belt. But the thing is I see a delete pully for sale on the net. Is that the way to go ? Or is it just an option . I'd hate to buy that pully and find it interferes with the turbo houseing
thanx for all the reply's

If you're keeping the stock serpentine belt system I think you'll need the delete pulley so that the belt tensioner works properly. Run a different belt system and you may be able to delete it altogether.

i would not get a pulley......if your eliminating the system compltely just say **** it and leave the belt off of there.........if you need the puley then get it and hook it up ..........hooking up a delete pulley wont do anything but let you keep your belt on there and just put some drag on your motor...not too much but some.......

Well how would you go about running your belt with NO Ac, and no Smog pump....Just the alt, and power steering pump????Anyone completely moved things around???? I have a AC Delete pulley now, and would love to deep 6 it...Any good pics of modded belt setups??????? Thanks, Tom

You will probably need a new alt bracket with a slot so you can tension the belt with it. I am thinking of doing that on my setup so I can get rid of the accessory bracket on the pass side of the bay,
