Default Underdrive pulleys and AC delete

i found this kit on LRS that comes with a 3 piece underdrive pulley kit, an AC delete kit, and it also bypasses the smog pump
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS

i just have a few questions before i buy it.

since it bypasses the smog pump, can i take it off after im done and is there more to it than just unbolting it

also does this relocate the power steering and what does that involve

and this should work on a 351w i just might need a different size belt right?

yes when you bypass the smog you can just unbolt it. The PS braket moves the PS pump up a little bit like a factory mustang with no ac

You can remove the somg pump after the short belt is installed...you will either need to remove the smog tubes from the back of the heads and block the smog passages off or just block off the tube itself and leave it bolted up to the heads...and the frpp kit is one of the cleanest and very easy to do the only thing it does is replace the ac bracket with the supplied bracket and is a quick bolt up and then your done.

bypassing the smog pump will clog up the cats over time.
