Can someone explain how to bypass the smog pump on a 94-95 GT? They changed the position of the tensioner pulley on this model, so its different from the earlier 5.0's. If i run the belt directly from the water pump pulley to the alternator, it wont pass the tensioner...and i dont wanna spend a hundred bucks or whatever for a replacement kit...

 

Here's how I ran my belt when I took off the smog pump, I don't know if it'll help or not being an 86, and my belt length was an 84 1/4" tight fit!

I left mine on and the ac and my car still run sgood.

 

well when you got 477rwhp you dont really need to worry about ac and smog pump.... its only l,ike 5 or 10 hp, if i had that much hp, i know i woudnt worry about it

 

Well its not really the hp i car about...just its useless since i ditched the cats...and it takes up space. Ill try what you showed 86HOGT, but on the 94-95 the tensioner is right under the alternator...but i'll see what i can do.

 

Oh okay...I wonder if you could just get a smog, alternator, tensioner bracket from an older 5.0 and make it work too.
