AC bypass ugrade

Anybody found an alternative to the AC bypass plastic pulley?I ordered a Ebay mustang billet smog pump bypass to try.It takes a 6 rib belt.

I measured and bought a belt the correct length without the pulley. Just clears the others.

An AC bypass in Texas in July/August is definitely not an upgrade lol

My Iroc has working AC but my Chevelle has third gen brackets.I got the pulley on today haven't got a short belt yet.Looks better than the black plastic flimsy pulley.

I used the pulley from a 1979-1995 Billet Mustang GT Smog Pump Pulley Delete.You will need a shorter belt. I used a K060956 but mine already had the smog pump removed.
