Do I need Delete Pulleys?

Hey everyone. My Iroc had no AC belt on it when I got it as the compressor is no good. My air pump was making noise so we removed that belt. Do I need to get the delete pulley in place of the air pump or can I just remove what is left of the air pump? Thanks for any help.

Re: Do I need Delete Pulleys?

which belt set up do you have? serpentine or do you have multiple belts? there are plenty of posts on here on how to reroute a belt after deleting the the smog pump, you will need a shorter belt though.

It is an 85 with multiple belts. The AC belt was removed when I got it. The smog belt we removed the other day. Car is running fine without them on it. I am assuming the delete pulleys are just for serpentine cars. I plan on taking out the whole pump among some other things soon.

pretty much, I have multiple belts on my car and I just took the pump belt off and ran it that way to make sure there were no issues, after a running it a few times and no issues I went ahead and pulled the pump out.

Thanks for the reply. I just didn't want to buy a pulley delete and run a belt for no reason.

The computer does not monitor the pump itself so deleting it won't cause a problem.
