Re: ! AC belt.. TFFCs and TFDs don't use them so why should you altho I believe yours has an electromagnetic clutch so that might make a difference. Oh what the heck, take it off.

Re: ! AC belt.. Its one less belt that the crank has to turn so it will give you a little gain. I think both powersteering and AC belt removed will be good for almost .2. Add underdrive pullies and there you go.
Re: ! AC belt.. I didn't notice you were from kuwait. The NHRA doesn't run in kuwait so you better log onto NHRA.com to find out what a TFFC and a TFD is. Taking your A/C belt off won't help enough to make a difference unless you drag race with you A/C turned "ON" in which case your beyond any help this site can offer you. As far as bypassing the power steering pulley being worth 2 tenths I think that's a stretch. 2 tenths might not sound like much until you spend a lot of time in the pits at your local drag strip. You might keep a spare short serpentine belt that bypasses your power steering pulley while running the 1/4th mile and then put the stock belt back on for the drive home. I'd like to see back to back runs on someones car with the p.s. pump and without to test this .2 gain theory. I don't think it's that easy.
