Ok the title is probably pretty confusing but I'm looking to delete my a/c system (hasn't worked for like 1 and a half) and I have seen some pics of peoples cars that have the alternator where the a/c compressor was, in order to keep the belt routed the correct way. I currently have the smog off and the p/s off and the a/c is the next to go. I know that UPR sells an idler pulley but I kinda wanna make my car have the least amount of pullies as I can. Does anyone know a company that makes a kit or bracket or anything that will allow me to put the alt over on the a/c space? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx.

i know what you're talking about, but i dont know who makes it. you could always put on an electric fan, leave the alternator where its at, and run it off the crank with a small belt routed around the water pump and crank

Well I know march makes a kit like that. But I have a HUGE downpipe right off the turbo there and I can't do it like that.

I have dual alts and one of them is were the ac went.I made my own brackets except for the factory ac bracket.

you could always give me your turbo kit and get the march kit for the alternator

im just going to delete my ac and run the belt straight under it, since itll run like that too. thats how it runs on the mustangs without ac's. only question i have is how much hp will i gain from deleting the ac?

FoxRod

None. Just makes less stress on the belt and less travel in it. Plus taking out the a/c crap will save you some weight up front.

i was told itll give me 5-10 maybe a little more hp.

not when the a/c isn't on.

with the a/c is off the belt is basically running over a well-bearinged idler pulley.

you might lose 1 hp or so with it off hardly a trade off for sweating your *** of
