Re: AIR CONDITIONING ELIMINATION (TODDZWER)
well you can do two things.
1. Check ebay, there is a F-body kit from Trans-Am Creations I believe. I got it think it was the 1LE option cost like $65, full idlers pulley and you can retain the stock belt. It fits perfectly well built, but a little pricey, but then so are the air pump eliminator kits.
2. Just take it out of the loop, and change the belt size and routing thru the idler pulley.
Do a search on it. I had a post a couple weeks ago about my A/C removal and a number of other people had ideas too. Really does clean up the engine bay nicely. Made removing the passanger side valve cover a piece of cake now.

Do you want to remove it to save weight, I was thinking about doing that. Does anyone know how much weight can be saved by removing the entire AC system?

removing the Air Pump and AC system completely I lost 46lbs total, including all the air piping, except the air tube to the cat, that is another 1-2lbs or so.
The AC compressor alone weights about 20lbs.
