don't worry bout the pulley... waste of money

just get a shorter belt and by-pass it and then take it off... belt w/o ac should fit

if you go non-AC you will need a 71" belt and the belt just routes like normal

Just take the smog pump off, and also remove the little charcoal filter box on the pass side frame rail. Then you'll need to plug your vacuum lines and slap on the new belt.
