Get ford's. Its under $40 and all you do is unbolt the whole a/c bracket and move the powersteering pump up to its spot with the brackets. Can be installed in less than 30 mins. You just have to get a new belt.

thats kinda what i was thinkin and even if i bought the ASP one it says id need a half an inch shorther belt so im not gonna pay 30 for a gator belt on a 70 dollar part not tryin to be a cheapo but im just trying to get a good deal so i have money for other parts and will i have to drain my power steering fluid or will it just move with ease? And also can i use the stock hardware for it or do i need new ones

70 bucks, simple install, and doesn't require a new belt. I have it and have no issues with it whatsoever. Looks good too.

the cool thing about the FMS delete is it gets rid of all that crap, that pulley just makes the engine play cluttered

I bought nothing but a short belt and a ribbed tensioner pulley for my deletes.

And routed the belt as follows...




I still don't know why more people don't do this...
