AC Delete Pulley Problems
Hi, this is my first post on here. I have a 1989 Trans Am with a tpi 305. The car is my daily and my ac compressor recently locked up. I didn't want to buy a new compressor since the ac doesn't work and they are expensive so I bought an ac delete pulley from advance auto but it doesn't even come close to fitting. All of the other pulleys I've seen seem to be the same design and I haven't found anyone else who has had this issue. My smog pump seems to be on its way out as well and was hoping to bypass that too. I'm wondering what my best option is here for a cheap and quick solution to get my car running again. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

The part number was 34195. It was the Dorman one and it was not opened. I posted two pics in my last response but they uploaded upside down it looks like. I am at work at the moment but tomorrow morning I can get more pics if needed.

I vaguely remember the A/C delete pulley only having two mounting points and not three. I think the one with three mounting points may go to the AIR pump delete.

Alright, I'm an idiot. I was supposed to get part number 34157 but got 34195 instead. They look almost identical but one is too thin. Sorry for wasting every one's time.
