Whats the advantage to removing the AC besides clearing up the engine bay? Is it worth it? And do i need to purchase a special belt?

 

You remove about 50# of weight from the front end. There is a "1LE" A/C delete pulley/bracket that allows you to use a belt very close to stock. Some people get by with the stock belt, some people seem to need one a little shorter. Not sure why.

 

there is also a kit that will relocate the alt to where the comprssor is. you might wanna look into that

 

I think its worth it.
The room you get to work on the car alone was worth it to me.
Its not my daily driver though but I personally have never liked AC on a performance car, call me kooky but thats how I feel.

 

plus it all depends on how often you use your AC. I never use mine, but then again, I didnt have ttops on my car all sumer to keep the coolness in

 

so where can I get this pulley, and does this pulley come with the belt? Thanks for the 411 guys. I agree any aditional under the hood space is a PLUS! Concidering there is none

 

anyone?

 

Disadvantage: No A/C!!!
