Default AC Delete Pulley

I’ve seen other posts that say NAPA has an AC delete pulley for L98’s mine is an 89.

I called them but they say do not offer one for corvettes?

Does anyone have a part number for the one that for the one that works?

I’m sure there are several cars that used the same configuration just not sure which one.

The early years use that one, it can be found on Ebay for $30ish. The later years use a much more expensive pulley. I would not use one at all, I think a bunch of dummy pulleys look silly, use up space/weight, and cost money you don't need to spend.

If someone is going to delete their ac, it's probably better than lugging a dummy compressor along for the ride.

not sure how it is on the l98. i know my camaro had a carbed 350 and all i could remove the ac compressor and just get a shorter belt. however on my lt1 you cant remove that pulley or else the belt wont go on right, so a delete pulley is a much better option then a heavy compressor. i got mine from tpis. expensive but its pretty and a really well built piece
