I would probably try to find a genuine GM one if possible. I have heard some bad vibes about the "knock-off" versions on Ebay.

As far as I know you still have to remove the assembly to use the delete pulley. I don't think you can just put the delete pulley on with the compressor there!

What size of belt do you have to run? Or can you run factory length?

correct the ac , when not in use , free spins. all you wil do is drop some weight and give yourself more room to work on your car.

The a/c is not in the way of the valve covers, so I don't know how it would help you there.

Here is another issue with the A/C delete, in addition to the pulley. If you’re removing the A/C system, you would also want to remove the A/C condenser from in front of the radiator.

However, there is a radiator mounting issue to deal with. Basically, the A/C condenser first attaches to the radiator support panel, then the radiator mounts on-to the condenser. Therefore, you can’t just remove the condenser because you won’t have a mount for the radiator.

So, do 4th Gen F-Bodies w/o factory A/C have some type of mounting bracket for the radiator that replaces the condenser mounting? And if so, what is the GM part number for that factory radiator bracket? I looked at the drawings on Shoebox’s site and it only showed the condenser and radiator configuration.

Are you sure your not missing something? When I pulled my motor I got rid of the A/C and everything went back together fine.. there are those 2 rubber pads the radiator sits on and then the top bracket where the emission diagrams are on, for me that seems to hold everything on just fine.
