no ac belt?

Post by ShaneLT(ShaneZ26) »

Is there a belt that anyone knows of that u could use to get rid of Acc instead of getting a AC delete pully?

Possible, but you may have to do something different to route the belt for the waterpump. You really need the belt to run that the correct direction. Not to mention, you alter the contact points of the belt around the PS too. You will be best to simply use the A/C delete, or disable the A/C and let it ride on the bearing as though its always off. The only gain by removing the A/C is losing the weight of the pump, etc.

I say use the delete pully or leave it alone. the delete pully also frees up a lot of space, its nice :)

the delete pully is like $20-30. Easiest cheapest thing would be to buy it and use it. Don't try to reinvent the wheel on something trivial like that unless its the only way.

I'm not trying to. Just wasn't sure if it was an option.

There is a belt routing that allows for this, with a much smaller idler pulley, but it interferes with the dog bone mount so the delete pulley is about your only option without making something spin the wrong way.

It may have only been available on the later 3400 engines as well. My 2004 3400 from an Alero was configured in this way before I changed it to use the delete pulley due to the interference.
