Default underdrive pulleys and AC

I am thinking of putting in underdrive pulleys. But have heard that I will no longer be able to use my AC because of lack of power. If i put in a larger alternator will this solve the problem? I know I can get some more power if i delete it but thats another day.

thanks in advanced

what??? no you can still use your a/c....the problem is that in city driving and with pullies overall charging output is reduced and if you run stereo stuff and blast the heater/a/c on high all the time the battery may not get fully charged.....underdrive pullies IMO..are a waste vs cost vs benifit if any

I have them the batt gauge drops alot at idle and low rpm, they were on it when I got it, but I plan on doing a 3 g swap once the weather gets nicer. 75 amps is uber weak
