Default ASP pulley questions

Bought one used and it doesn't say ASP anywhere on it. I thought they said ASP on them. Do some not say that? Just want to make sure it is in fact an ASP underdrive pulley.

Also, if you only use the accessory belt, it doesn't affect the a/c at all correct? You still gain about 10rwhp just by using the accesory belt correct?

Mine doesn't say anything on it either...don't worry about it. If you don't use the a/c belt, you just won't have working a/c. You probably won't see 10rwhp on the dyno....the improvement is ususally seen more at the track.

The A/C belt only goes to the A/C pulley, and when not engaged, that is simply an "idler" pulley. So whats the difference between leaving the A/C off and removing the belt? Even if you leave the A/C on, its usually disabled at WOT anyway.

Yeah in my girlfriends 94TA the A/C stops blowing when you give it a decent amount of gas. Doesn't even have to be WOT. But in my 99TA I never notice that. The A/C seems to keep blowing no matter what.
