84 A/C Delete
I have ripped all the pipes, accumulator and condenser out and am left with the heavy and bulky compressor still in the belt train.
Can anyone point me to a place I can buy an A/C delete pulley / bracket for my 84?

Could this be as simple as removing the belt tensioner and compressor and then getting a shorter belt to run directly from the crank pulley to the AIR delete pulley picking up the water pump on the right hand side (to keep it going anti-clockwise) on the way?

If you relocated the PS bottle like on the TPI cars that setup would be do-able
I read it was for a 84; didn't you?

Has anyone tried to rebuild a reverse rotation water pump by replacing the impeller with a stk rotation impeller ?

If you look at the vanes on the pump they don't have much curve so as to be directional; it is more a case of coolant coming in on the front of vanes and being thrown outwards

I have the TPIS Air Pump Delete and the NAPA AC Delete pulley and am using Serp Belt NAPA 25060858, 86.375" long. The belt allows the tensioner to fall right in the middle of the range marked.

A/c delete
The a/c in mt 85 looks the same as your 87 but the tensioner is under the a/c your is on top. Do you think that will make a difference for my 85 a/c delete if I use your napa numbers?

However, the 85 appears to be the same as the 87 so you should be OK.

As it is now, the bolt holes are fixed and don't allow any movement.

Do you have any idea what the belt number is if you delete both the a/c and the air pump?

Just remove the 84 compressor and brackets related to it and install a 85-87 compressor bracket then use a a/c delete idler pulley .... end of problem.
here is one on the right side of the picture, much simpler setup then what the 84 had.
