A/C comp removed, what belt? Removed my A/C compressor and put in a "a/c delete pully".
Has anyone gone the route of finding a shorter belt?
How did it work out? Does the tensioner still work?
Just looking for more room under the hood and clean up the engine bay a bit.

i used same route as well, with bypass pulley nothing has changed and it will work, if you really wanna clean it up get an alt relocation bracket to move it where the ac compressor use to be

I had to use a shorter belt, I was told they came with 1 of 2 different pulleys on the a/c compressor from the factory, if your came with the larger pulley you need a shorter belt with the a/c delete pulley. Belt length I used is 63.5" NAPA part # 25-060635

I just put the Dorman A/C bypass pulley on my car today. The bypass pulley and compressor pulley were the same size on my application. I just hope I don't have problems with the bypass pulley as other people have. I am thinking about taking it back tomorrow and ordering the 1LE delete pulley. Anyway, GOOD LUCK!

Yes it was, third one.
Not my daily driver anymore. So A/C was not as important.
My question is has anyone just ran a shorter belt without the delete pully.
I put a new tensioner on when I put on the pully but used the same belt as with the A/C compressor.
I was wondering if I could get away with out the delete pully. And just use a shorter belt?
