If you have no use for it pull that ish.

I say leave it in, unless it's a track car then why even think about not having it..


of course here in the southern states we have insanely humid summers and a car AC sucks!

i pulled mine. never used it plus my intercooler piping was actually touching my pully. why keep some weight around if you dont need it right? plus the engine feels like it revs a bit better now.

if you never use it then pull it. you cant get much money for those parts anyways so just keep them around. if/when you sell the car you can reinstall it to please the new buyer

I will say that not having it made for some crappy long drives to the track, but if you got a sunroof at least you got some fresh air coming in. Me, I'd leave it in and recharge/fix it so I could enjoy the cool AC later once your engine goes back in... unless you've gutted the carpet and undercoating, thown out the boat anchor seats (front and rear) and changed out to some Carbon body pieces... there really is no use for removing the AC.

You can tie the rope around eveything(pulleys),then measure the rope and go to autozone and get the measured belt you need.They have all kinds of different sizes.

Same, mine never worked so I didn't feel bad about taking it out. SupraForums is down right now or I'd be able to tell you what the belt size is, I want to say 47" but I'm not sure if that was for my smaller crank pulley or the regular size.
