There are air pump elim brackets but they are very costly for what they are. ($150ish) Most Corvette online stores have them. It would be cheapest to gut the pump. Run a search here there should be many threads about it. Then you don't need a new belt either.

Buy yourself an 85" belt, slip it on and drive merrily on your way. 1984 is the only C4 that works on. No special A.I.R. pump eliminating idler necessary.

RACE ON!!!

You are on your own on that one. I don't know of anyone making a "kit". The set ups I have seen involved the adaptation of idler pulley bolted to the block to route the belt around the electric water pump and to give the belt sufficient "wrap" around the remaining pulleys for them to be driven properly. It's time to start cuttin' and weldin'.

RACE ON!!!
