GM, $60. The only one you will find. There might be another one, but I haven't heard of it.

Definately a worth while mod. You will need a shorter belt, at least I did.

If you have pulleys added on top of that you will need a shorter belt.

Looks like these guys already got you covered, but just in case I have an AC delete bracket and pulley that I will no longer need. Bought it brand new from GM about 2 years ago.

I'm going to a manual steering rack, so the pulley will not be going back on the car.

What did you have on yours? I have a 34% under drive, and have had no problems. I don't have anything electric and a high-output Alternator, so that might be why I am good..

True does mount in the same location but the pulley on the bracket was smaller than the one on the AC unit.

Yea, it is smaller, but the point where it makes the Apex is in the same spot. Basically the edge of the Pulleys are the same on the belt where they mount, that is why it is a direct replacement.

Well trust me when I tell you the stock belt didn't work and I don't have pulleys. I had to buy a belt that was about 2 inches shorter.

Mad Man and Co. makes an alternator relocation kit that can be used when deleting A/C. Here is the link:

If you have some mechanical ability and some tools, you can make one of them, instead of paying $180..

exactly I have enough "know how" to just build a bracket for that and it should only cost me around $3 just for a spacer. The Madman Co bracket it nice but for $180 Id rather make on may not look as clean but as long as it works.
