[QUOTE="NOVA98Cobra, post: 12921626, member: 93855"] So I know a lot of guy out there delete there AC for one reason or another. For me it never worked to begin with and I got use to driving around in the heat with no AC so I wanted to delete it. Once I decided to delete It the easiest option was to buy a delete pulley that bolts to the stock location and retains the stock serpentine belt routing. The delete pulleys out there are stupidly over priced and your motor is still spinning an added dead pulley for no reason. I opted for option two: Delete the entire AC system and run a different serpentine belt size and routing. This option really cleans up the front of the motor and keeps things that aren't being used off the car. This thread will not dive into how to delete the whole system step by step, but It will show how to reroute the belt, and what size to use. It took me four guesses and a lot of money trying to use a rope to size it up so I hope my work saves someone else time and aggravation. To start with here is the stock routing location for 96-98 mustang cobras [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/29linno.png[/IMG] Here is a diagram of what it will look like after deleting the AC compressor completely [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/35mhde8.png[/IMG] Now before you try to rout it you will need a totally different size serpentine belt. It is a much shorter path now. Every company codes the package differently but essentially what you need is a six ribbed belt that is 790 cm long [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/33uxxeo.jpg[/IMG] Here are some pics of the new routing on my car. Notice that now the belt goes ribbed side down over the idler and back up to the alternator pulley. The other major difference is that the tensioner provides upward force in a different direction. The routing around the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and crank remain the same.
