Default belt routing

why do some get p/s relocaters and a/c pully replacements when getting rid of air conditionting? On the stock belt routting diagram doesn't move anything, they juts run the pulley down the the p/s pump. Is there a reason that isn't done?

some people are too stupid to realize that all they need is a shorter belt

Relocating the p/s pump looks better than having a a/c pump just sitting there.

it's not about being stupid it's about looks cause if you remove compressor then you have a big empty space and a cut out on the bracket cause bracket is a one piece for p/s and a/c = 1 bracket for both...if just removing a/c compressor it looks butt ugly with bracket and empty space
