I've got an 88 camaro with a LO3 (TBI) 305. I'm wanting to remove the air pump and the A/C. For the record I don't have emmisions test just have to have a cat. And the A/C doesen't work, besides thats what t-tops are for.

From looking at the car intelf the air pump won't cause any problems the serpintine belt. But with out the A/C pump I won't be able to run a belt.

Does the A/C compressor seperate from the pulley or do I need to buy a new pulley?

I'm just looking to revmove some weight from the front of the car. Free up a couple of horse power. And uncluter the engine compartment.

Any help is greatly apreciated. Thanks In advance.

 

I kept my ac, but I've seen that most buy a delete pulley, search "delete pulley" or "homemade delete pulley" you get the drift, I'm glad I removed my smog, engine looks way better, where in IL do you live?

 

part # for the a/c delete pulley from gm is 10055890.

I am going to order mine this week. It is about $45. plus tax.

I posted to get the part # and this is what the guys here said would fit.

go ahead and remove the smog pump. it is just extra weight. besides it makes for more room to work on your motor.

 

Thanks for the help.

Sorry I mean try this

 

huh, how come more people don't do that instead of getting a ac delete pulley, looks good to me

 

do you have 2 alternators hooked up?
if so, how did you wire it in?

im running a serpentine belt system, and was going to order a a/c delete pulley this weekend, but if i can slap another alternator in their with relative ease, and not need to mess with the bracket, id rather do that....

let me know

This is the same alt mounted where the A/C was.

This pic shows the alt bracket cut off the top of the power steering bracket

 

DM91RS exactly how did u go about making that bracket. what stuff did u use and is it easy to do. thats what i am tryin to do with my car but im takin off the power steering too. but i dont have the cash to lay down big bucks on a March pulley bracket or nuttin but if u could tell me how u made that of some more better pics i would appreciate it very much. thanks
