A/C delete pulleys for l98s?
Well, as a wise man at work said, "Stop dicking around with S**t that won't make your car run!". SO, I'm putting the A/C resto on hold in favor of spending that money elsewhere in the meantime. I ride around with the windows down anyway.
I installed the heater core so I can button up the a/c duct system behind the dash and put all of that back together, that I never have to take it apart again. Only thing I will need to add will be the items in engine compartment, such as the compressor, condensor, evap core, accumulator, and various hard lines and hoses.
I've seen A/C delete pulleys for around $40 for TPI F bodies. Wondering if these same pulleys are applicable to Corvette drive belt accessory setups?

Any help is appreciated and it will be money that can go towards another part of the resto. I'll do the A/C at a much later time.

Okay, got the A/C delete pulley. Hardened plastic pulley as expected. Nothing against our Chinese brethren but with the slew of bad press for their products, I turned over the aluminum casting to see "China" stamped on it.
Anyone else running this particular A/C delete pulley? It's in the same range as the TPIS delete pulleys, which also use a plastic pulley, I'm sure theirs and all of them are made in China. Will just be on a plane jane L98 so I don't foresee problems with it.
