The mods don't have time to remove all the wrong information posted here. That's why when I do a search I usually include a smart persons name in the advanced search.

Ex.
Wiring/electrical stuff: Hailers
General information: Icemark, Aaron, NZ
Turbo stuff: JRat

All of those are interchangeable, I'm just giving examples.

you dont have to get a new belt. i removed mine and kept the belt that was on it and it has enough tension.

UPDATE: done with ac removal it took me exactly 4 hours, and like my5ababy said it is it's own belt, biggest problem i had as manuevering the compressor out under the p/s pump, other than that i'm waiting on some plugs i epoxied to the firewall to dry and i'll go out on a cruise

my removal was easy... though i had my engine on a hoist when i got the compressor off...

but, the stock PS belt does work just fine... unless you did like me and got the billet underdrive main pully from RacingBeat an which case you need to get one size smaller. I'm at the office so i couldn;t tell you the part number offhand sorry.
