If you don't have PS, then you only need one belt (alternator). They are both serpentine (alt and ac). Take EVERYTHING that has to do with the AC out. That includes the compressor, belt, ac lines, any wiring.. anything ac related really.

A serpentine belt is a single belt that will go on one pulley on the motor and run multiple things. The B and D series motors have grooved belts that are similar in appearance, but they only run one item each. Fortunately, this makes removing features easier than needing shorter belts or idlers for deletes.

Just make sure you empty you freon first. I took out my AC with a full charge and when I unscrewed a line I created a huge freon cloud which was pretty funny. **** went everywhere.

Your crazy... do you really want to get rid of your a/c when you have a stock single cam? If you have something crazy like a built track motor than I would suggest removing the a/c belt. I have a semi built h2b motor and I WISHED I had a/c, power steering, and cruise control..

Re: how to get rid of your a/c?
So you have no PS, took out AC and Cruise right? That's pretty much all thats "removable". To clean it up some more, I drilled out the spot welds that held the brackets that held the AC condensor in place and removed the brackets. You could do a simple wire tuck of the harness that runs along the shock towers (headlight/horn/ ect harness) and run it in the fenders. Just seach wire tuck for some help. Get some Simple Green and a scrub brush and scrub the bay to get the grime off, touch up spots with paint if you have a easily matchable color and you should have a really clean bay, I know mine is lol
