He's right, you can just take the pump off and get a belt for a car w/o AIR. If you don't have A/C, I believe you need a 82.5" belt, not sure on the size for w/ A/C though.

You don't need the bracket and pulley, you can run it just with the shorter belt and be fine. I ran mine like that for a decade.

915K6 for A/C with no AIR, 815K6 for no A/C no air...

Factory non-AIR cars do NOT have any AIR parts period... My 87 auto never had any AIR parts until the 3.1 was put in and then it got the bracket (which was removed) and the pass side exhaust manifold check valve (which was forever coming loose from the manifold and leaking ).

Long story short... If you've already gotten rid of the pump, get rid of the brackets and headaches as well. And you will end up with one less moving part to potentially fail (the pulley).
