a/c delete

I took out my all the a/c stuff out so can i just run a really short belt to the water pump, powersteering and the other pulley or do i have to keep the condenser on or do i have to buy a pulley to put in the place of where the a/c condensor was?

An AC delete pulley will be your best bet. That way you can use the stock belt and not have the huge gaping hole where the condensor used to be.

Hope that helps.

Looks like he reversed the tensioner and put the alt. where the A/C / air pump were. Neat.

Yeah thats about it. Took the tensioner apart, and put it together a little backwards. Drilled a hole in the bracket for the air pump, and mounted my alternator there. Its not that hard to do, but I don't really like that big empty bracket for the pass. side. I am going to work on makeing one here soon. I am still trying to figure out how to mount the tensioner though.
