Default a/c elimination

Ok, i have my a/c disconnected, but i would like to take that dam compressor off the top of my engine and clean the engine bay up a bunch, plus get some weight off, but the "a/c eliminator" kits in summit from like march say they do not include a pulley, so this leads me to believe that they are just for puttoing an idler in the place of the a/c. I want to totally remove the a/c if i can. I know i just cant run a belt without it there (tried that lol) so i was wondering if someone sold a bracket like the original non a/c one to move the p/s up. I found the full kit on march's website, but 513 is a little spendy for some aluminum braketry just to make it look good. Any parts that i can use or someone who makes something would be appreciated. thanks.

Smogpump you can simply get a shorter belt for. The AC one on the other hand you would need to relocate the power steering pump or get a replacement idler pulley for it. Not sure what size belt you need to do that like that though. You are going to need to readjust your idle after you take off the smog pump and AC or you are going to be idoling at like 1300 RPM

If your car idles at 1300 rpms it isnt because of taking the AC and smop pump off..it takes very little effort to spin either of them (when the AC is off of course)
