You'll most likely have to get an alternator relocation bracket to keep the alternator spinning the correct way (older Delco's don't matter which way, not sure if newer do). Might as well just run an electric water pump while you're at it, since I assume you're wanting to do this to free up parasitic loss. If you were just doing the AC compressor, there's a delete pulley for that (1LE performance package).

The alternator will need to be relocated with a kit if you want to ditch the A/C & PS. We offer 2 kits : 1 which is alternator only and 1 if you did want to keep the PS, but ditch the A/C and clean up the look of the engine bay.

if you ditch the PS I strongly suggest a manual rack and not looping the stock rack

MadMan Racing makes a great rack we can get you into as well for $640 shipped

see link for alternator kits we offer

I plan on getting the manual rack this spring. I just deleted my PS, but for now, looping the lines will have to do. I hate being broke!

Taking the two Fluid Lines from the PS Pump and looping them, bypassing the Rack.
