You'll notice more in the loss of the weight than the actual pulley...

yes you will but really not enough to notice on the street unless you've been trying to race with the AC on and I don't think you would do that! with the AC clutch disengaged, there is very little friction on the pulley taking power away from the engine, it's only when the clutch is engaged that it pulls HP away from the crank. these delete kits are a nice racket, but they aren't worth the cost if you ask me. all the ones I've seen still have a pulley, so what are you saving except for the weight of the compressor?

Yeah theyre not all that.Not to mention you are actually wasting money on the kit.

Do what i did remove the stuff and get a shorter belt.Or i have a site that showes you how to remove it all and use the stock belt with nothing extra.You just reverse the tensioner.I chose the shorter belt since its simpler than pulling the tensioner apart.

Let me know if that helped you out or not.Its a simple cheap way without wasting your money on that kit.And this looks cleaner i think.
