I did that, plus A/C on a project. Found a pattern for a AIR eliminator bracket and made one. Many trips to the store to exchange for correct belt length, tho. Despite reading that I could get by s/o the AIR adapter, the belt alignment required it.

Iimportant for belt routing to get WP turning correct direction.

There have been a few large threads with lots of pix. On mine I used the top A/C brace after removing the A/C over on the top of the alternator. I made a thread about it awhile back. Quick pic:

Yes, they blow air into the center of the rotor to cool the brakes. I have C5 brakes installed and do mostly road course racing.

I'm also looking to do the same, seems to me the best way would be to move the alternator to where the ac was and use a standard rotation power steering pump like the zr1 pump.
