Removing AC completely

[Guest]

I dont have my Beretta anymore... been gone along time, but do any of you guys know what Size belt I would need if i were to completely remove the AC compressor and lines?



Also what size fittings i'll need to cap the lines.

My neighbor who owns it tore the lower line, and i dont feel like fixing it completely for him.

is this a 90 gt? i'm not sure which engine is in that, either a 3.1, or a 3100, i know that the 3.1 relies on the a/c compressor to put tension on other accesories to run them. to bypass the compressor you need to find any 2.8/3.1 that didn't have a/c. (I've seen it in celebrities and corsicas) you need the pully and bracket that sits in place of the compressor. this is the only way to do it that i know of.

No you dont.  I just bought a shorter belt.  I think I used a 58 3/8"  belt.  Not sure, it's been a while since I had buy one.

It's been A/C deleted for a long time and I never seen/noticed any abnormal issues.

which engine are you talking about? or is it the same for both?

I did it for all of my V6 MPFI's.
The only issue doing this on a 2.8MPFI is that you CANNOT do the UDP mod without the Delete pulley or a larger water pump pulley & for the 3.1MPFI, there's a little aluminum you have to cut off.  3.1MPFI's you can because the water pump is pushed back a little more.
