Ok, again, I must have some dumb questions.


Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the powersteering belt off to the right of the alternator? Can I just clip the belt and call it good or do I need to do something else?

cut the belt off, and the lines won't be able to equalize. You need to remove the pump.

yeah that is what i thought you coud do too, but it was almost undriveable. What is the big deal with wanting to do away with it anyway

Doesn't the belt spin any other pullies? Wouldn't this be bad?

scathcart

No. The "crank" pulley spins the p/s pulley, and the p/s tension pulley.
Nothing bad, save a loss of p/s.

People who pull the belt hoping for hp increase is retarded (Sorry if I offend anyway) I tried that at the dyno, increased 1.1HP!!! Yeah I would like to keep my p/s and a/c and airpump
