installing a AC Delete Kit
I have the MARCH AC Delete kit and im having some problems with this. The directions they gave me suck and i cant understand it. So if anyone on here has done it PLEASE let me know. It didnt come with the pulley, just the AC Bracket (Delete Kit) and some screws. Do i have to move the belt tensionser towards where the AC Compresser used to be or do i leave it in the same place? Does anyone have any pics? A pic would do because thats all i need. THANKS ALOT.......

I don't think so,the tensinor stays in the stock location and the bracket moves the power steering up to where the ac compresor used to be,then you have to get a shorter belt to make up for the removal of the ac.

RE: installing a AC Delete Kit
so how do i go about installing it? Where does the bolts go and how do i get the tensioner out? Is it the huge nut i have to loosen as well as the bolt in the alternator bracket to get the belt tensioner out? And how do i install the March kit? Sorry, the directions suck that they gave me. THANKS

RE: installing a AC Delete Kit
I have the march kit, you have to take off the ugly big bracket that attaches the a/c, p/s and w/p.
then put the plate in place of it.
the small side of the bracket should bolt onto the upper p/s bolt (the one with a nut on it) and the other 2 holes on the oppisite side go onto 2 water pump bolts.
use the small bolt spacer and washers on the bolt that it is needed. (cant remember which one)
the instructions from it said to move the tensioner onto their bracket.
I left the tensioner and used a smaller belt. 82.5" 6 rib.
I had to use my underdrive pulley on the w/p to tighten the belt.
it is kinda hard to get the belt on though.
I routed my belt like this.

RE: installing a AC Delete Kit
ok, so that bracket will fit where the old bracket went? After i get it on from where my AC used to be ill just have the Power Steering, crank, smog, water and alternator, and tensioner right? Do i have to move the PS up or keep it where it is? So if im correct everything will just be in the same spot but replacing the old bracket with the new one? Does your diagram just show the AC and PS Delete? Or just AC? Sorry to ask you all these ?'s. I appreciate it every much........
