Default 1984 AC delete

Hey everyone it’s finally time to remove my ac.i have a 1984 corvette and I’m currently running a smog pump delete with a 85 inch belt. Is there a ac pulley delete kit that I can buy to retain my current belt size ? Or do I remove my ac and tensioner and get a ribbed tensioner with a 70.5 inch belt. Any feedback is appreciated thanks.

I think an R4 type compressor delete pulley would probably bolt in place with light massaging and retain the belt you currently use.

decided to use that part and it bolts right up took a 2 min file job to file the clearance of the pulley but besides that was a simple install. Saved so much room in the engine bay. I put all the stuff I removed in a box and weighed it. It was 42.6 pounds! All the ac stuff and my smog stuff. Couldn’t believe it.
