I was researching AIR removal, and everyone is talking about a serp belt for the AIR pump. Also, in a majority of the pics I saw, the A/C is on the PASS. side of the engine. My A/C is on the DRIVER side.....and the AIR pump is driven by it's own v-belt off the water pump. While this does make it easier for me to do the AIR delete, I want to know why my setup is different.

Thanks

 

I think I remeber hearing something about this before. Was your car assembled in Canada? Don't know why it's bringing up a stored file in the back of my head.

 

The VIN indicates it is from the USA.

 

Well, this should be fun. I'm totally invested now. I'll let you know what i dig up.

 

Thanks!

The front end does look like it's been in a collision and reassembled. However, I can't imagine someone completely re-routing the A/C and custom belts, etc. I assume this is still some sort of odd-ball stock set-up?

 

ah you have one of the hybrids... serp and v belt that is normal for certain 3rd gens like the werent ready for just a serp so they went 50/50

 

Really? I can see this causing issues when asking for belts at auto shops.....cause a lot of people wouldn't know which to ask for.

 

It's stock for an 87. Just take the belt off. This is a picture of my 87 IROCZ in stock form. Of corse one of the first things I did to it was add a serp setup. Adam :-)
