Default -A/C Power

On the belt routing diagram under the hood, I've noticed that some cars have a dotted-line to represent the belt route if disconnecting the a/c ...

Does the SC have such a configuration? Can I let the belt off that one pulley, and drive with greater power?

If so, how?

Did you see one on there? I thought you were a pilot. Pilots make money. Power comes from spending money on a proper setup, not some backwoods hillbilly trick to shave a tenth off their trap in some silverado with git'rdone stickers on it.

What's my flying have to do with anything?

I don't need a/c; so if I can do something as simple as unhooking the belt from a single pulley, and make power ... ???

Secondly, I think you're talking about "airline" pilots, and no, they don't make all this big money you imagine.
I've seen pilots that only make $25k/yr and the reason they still do it is merely for the love of flying ...

Thanks for your waste of time post, which didn't help at all.

Calm down folks. No need to exchange blows.

Google search had to sift through a couple threads but here should help:

And there are wealthy $25k a year people and broke $250k a year income people. The difference is if you try to save money in various ways, like choosing weight reduction over costly engine builds. Thumbs up.

Thank you.
Okay; so it's not so simple ...
I like how our engines use the lever to loosen the belt.
I was hoping that like this other car I saw, the belt remained the right length to operate off the a/c pulley.

Springtime, if we could just unhook it from that particular pulley, and run with it ... Come summer, hook it back on (or not) ... I'd have fun with it
