RACERS: Air Conditioning Pully removal - HELP!
In all my reading, I still must have missed it:
We have a 1987, with basically stock L-98. In permanently removing the air conditioning, how do you compensate for the "missing" pully?
New serpentine belt? A dummy pully? ???
Thanks for suggestions,
Ed LoPresti

I think an 1989 compressor is different then an 1987. If you can find out for sure if the parts are interchangeable then I suggest this really nice piece. It retains the stock belt & tensioner & is raod race proven!

I have read somewhere on the forum where you can buy a shorter belt from ecklers or mid america to compensate for the missing pulley.
