Aftermarket Pulley's for removing A.I.R

I would like to remove the emissions, but I don't want to put something in it's place...aka the smog pump delete pulley.

I was looking at street and performance style pulleys, but I was unsure of which ones that I can use. I am looking for a serpentine system, but I would also like it easy to work on.

Anybody got any ideas and web pages so I can look at some of them?

have you tried rerouting the serpentine belt on your setup?

rip out the guts of the pump and re-install it. You now have an AIR pump delete pulley.

That's what I did, pump was unhooked and making all kinds of racket:

That's kind of the thing, I don't want anything there at all. It is to packed underneath the hood, and it's an eye soar.

I haven't tried re-routing the belt yet, but I have read that it doesn't work to well with the distance from the crank pulley to the alternator. It gives the belt a lot of 'slap' for the slack that it has.

maroon: I have the March Power and Amp pulleys, no AC, no AIR pulleys. I reused my original sized belt (pre-aftermarket pulleys) and rerouted my belt. It worked fine.

Smog pump delete pulley part # 10186167. Looks a lot better than an empty gaping hole, you can retain all of your bolts holding the brackets to the block, and you don't get any slop in the belt.

Yeah, but I would rather have it empty and look like and engine, than a rubbered hose piece of iron.

I think your best bet would be a custom setup like something march makes.

Do they make regular pulleys, or are they all the underdrive ones?
