air pump removel and a/c
 

hey guys i want to remove the air pump out of my car and a/c, so what kind of pulley kit do i need for the air pump so i dont have the slippage on my water pump pulley and where can i get it from? i searched b4 i posted here cudnt find anything!

You have PS though, right?

The A/C is on a different belt than the water pump.....you need an idler or a Greddy pulley kit.

ya i still have the PS, where can i get the ideler from and same with greddy pulley kit,

whats the pros and cons of doing this ,tryed lookin but no look..clear this up for me please..

To remove your air pump, pettit has a pulley kit. To remove your a/c you just need a smaller belt.

I've got a Pineapple Racing idler pulley kit that bypasses the air pump. it's brand new, complete with brackets, bolts, pulley and belt. It's in the blister pack it was shipped in. To be honest, I forgot what I paid for it, and can't locate the invoice. I'm open to offers on it. It's really great quality.

hope you dont have emissions then

what size belt is needed to get rid of the a/c?

ask goodfella he took out everything and only has the main pulley and alternator if i seen correctly

What no water pump? lol.

what does idler look like? and which one is it better to go with the greddy kit?

An idler is just a pulley that is not attached to any accessory. Its there to provide tension on the belt to get better contact with the waterpump pulley. Ideally, the idler pulley would be best, Pineapple Racing sells one. However, the Greddy kit has been proven to work fine over the years with the stock main pulley.

Yep. My car only has the greddy kit w/ an unorthodox racing main pulley. No air pump, no ps and no ac. Well, I'm tired of having no ps so its going back on the car. One belt for the alternator/water pump and one for the ps.

As for no air pump, when I took it to my mechanic for state inspection, he asked if I had an air pump....... I said sure and pointed to the single turbo I run :D

lol sorry i knew i was forgetting something.. yes he has the wp

i looked on pineapple racing for one but i cudnt find any idler pulley only thing i did found was idler arm bushing

Mahjik,

That means Pineapple just uses the OEM pulley. Doesn't that affect the underdrive issue like the aftermarket ones are calculated for?

Underdriving has to do with the pulley attached to the specific accessory itself. Whether or not you have an extra pulley in the line doesn't effect how many revolutions it takes to turn the main pulley or an accessory.

i.e. how you underdrive is basically:

1. Make the accessory pulley larger
2. Make the main pulley smaller
3. Combination of 1 & 2

The idea is the have the accessory make less turns per revolution of the main pulley. Whether there is an idler pulley on the line is independent of that as all that effects is the belt size.

Yeah, I pulled the AC and PS last year. Other then parking at car shows I dont miss the PS at all. Not to mention my cooling issues are over now that huge ac condensor is gone.

I looped the PS lines shut with the kit from Gotham . Just a quick fix untill I get a modified steering rack done the right way.
