Im interested in purchasing a gilmer drive kit, is there a possible way to keep a/c? i think i had seen a setup before but im not sure.

 

only if the gilmer pulley allows the ac or Power steering pulley to go on after the gilmer(out front of the gilmer).

 

i haven't tried to see if the pulley would clear the center area of the gilmer hub. for some reason i highly doubt it will.

 

i found this, but its for power steering, now thinking of it, the a/c was behind the ps belt i believe, so there really isnt a way to keep a/c without moving the compressor

the power steering pulley has a deep dish and probably would fit but the placement would be off as well as the pulley diameter. the A/C pulley would need some sort of spacer made , but technically it needs to fit flush on the hub, so i highly doubt it is going to work. the gilmer belt pulley is simply too wide for anything aside from power steering.

you could try it, and seeing if the A/C compressor could be moved to the forward position but rethreading the mount would be required. it can't realistically be moved more than about 3/4" further forward without modifying the mount further.

find a way of making the A/C pulley work or ditch the idea, the P/S pulley will underdrive the compressor so it would have weak output.

 

Gilmer pulley on the AC and a longer belt!

 

I ran the gilmer drive setup because of slippage. Well, it was way overkill and its way to loud even with an adjustment. A double belt setup would have sufficed and not drive me crazy, if I were you spend that money elsewhere. Just my .2 tho

 

I totally agree and think that this setup would just be for LOOKS.
It is not gaining anything by running the Gilmer belt as it is just deleting 2 belts that could be there to serve the same purpose.That is why they made the dual alternator pulley.
Last Time I checked it was way cheaper just to run that than a gilmer drive.

 

Just wrap a 3L220 belt around the WP and Main pulley and be done with slippage.

 

If it's for looks and u can stand the noise go for it. It's def badass looking
