Did the 79-93 5.0 mustangs have a option to buy the car without A/C, and if so, did ford use a idler pulley in place of the A/C pump, or what did they do to get the belt coming off the alternator to the P/S pump to not bottom out onto the other belt because of the tensioner?

 

There were a lot w/o a/c. The p/s pump sat in the location where the compressor is.

 

if i go to a junk yard would it be possible to use the bracket off of a non a/c car to move the P/S pump up on my 1985 mustang gt? The car originally had ac, but it was removed and they left the P/S pump in the factory location and routed the belt a wierd way that bypassed the need for a tensioner.i have to get this P/S pump moved up so that i can use my pulley tensioner.

 

yeah you could do that

 

why dont u just buy a ac delete kit from somewhere like summit.
there not much and i would be easier than moving ur pumps around and crap.

 

well he is talking about getting one from the junkyard which would be cheaper..

 

yeah true.
and it sounds like he wants one soon and shipping always bites u in the butt

 

umm, ya, this vehicle is my daily driver so i NEEDED a belt on it yesterday. i would order a bracket online but why pay shipping and $40 for a aftermarket A/C delete bracket that i can hopefully find in a junk yard for 5 bucks???
