Default Removing all the accessories?

I'm looking at removing everything I don't need. Like p/s, a/c, etc. Just want crank, w/p, and alternator.

Do I need any special brackets, or anything? Anyone done this and have pics or a write up?

Any help is appreciated!

Dale

AC runs on its own belt, thats a simple removal.

you can also just remove the p/s pump and run a short belt. however, I believe the alternator bolt is in the way.

You can cut the head of the bolt down or grind down the alt bracket some.
