i dont think u will need a kit seeing as they did make mustang without a/c so just go to any part store and tell them u want a belt for a mustang with no a/c

if you dont care alot about looks you can just take all of the a/c parts off and leave the oully part. and if im not mistaken its just a free spinning pully when it off and at full throttle

I couldn't find a belt for no a/c for 93.. maybe all 93s came with a/c, i dont know... would any 87-93 belt w/o a/c work? there isn't a difference in anything that the belt runs on during those years, are there...

yea i had a march kit... it sucks but does the job. What i would do if i was you is spend the extra money get a March alternator bracket and power steering bracket looks much better and takes off all the old big bulky brackets. And if you can take off the air pump. But if you jus go with AC eliminator from March the belt is Goodyear GTR-4060860

I tried eliminating the a/c with the belt only and no mater what size belt I used it always rubbed.

they have a kit for it... ihad a friend do it on his 85 mustang. its a bracket and an idle pully pretty much. works great and you dont need a new belt it'll be the same length. but if you get rid of the smog pump too you'll need a new belt

Texas Mustang sells a Ford Racing A.C. eliminator kit for $39 .It's the same setup for the fox bodys that came without A.C. from the factory. I have run this kit on both my 87 GT an LX with no problems and it really cleans up the engine compartment.it basically gets rid of the A.C. compressor and mounting bracket by moving the power steering pump up where the A.C compressor used to sit. There phone number is 800-527-1588.oh and it does require a shorter belt.
