Just going to run heat in the Camaro after all, so I picked up an ebay a/c delete pulley, installed it. I didnt use their bolts and instead used the factory ones and bolted it up. *looks* like it lines up fine, but started the engine and the pulley has a little play in it. Is this how they are supposed to be or did I get a bad one?

I turned the engine off and there is a little play where i could move the pulley a little, nothing major though. Just concerned for driving at higher rpms.

Mike, most of them have slight play in them but you need to make sure they dont have to much play.....double check it and make sure its not to bad for your taste..OR post a vid

No video Rob, but yeah its minor, just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to burn up a belt or something.

My advanced one sounds like that and it has seen many 6300rpm pulls with no problem and no belt wear. Just watch the belt for strange wear patterns and it will tell you if it is moving to much

Ok, I drove the Camaro to work yesterday (50 mile round trip) with no issues. A little squeek here and there but the belt is still on. I guess if I would have any issues, it would have happened right away on this.

sorry to hi-jack, but how do you feel about the overall quality of the part? how long did the swap take? sorry i have just been kicking that idea around for a while

Its so/so, not impressed with the wobble or the occasional squeel but for the price, I cant bitch too much. It will do until I fork over the cash for a GM one.

It took me all of a week to get the oem one...
