Default Should I remove the idler pulley on my k20?

OK...so i remember reading sumwhere that u can remove the idler pulley by using a different belt (civic's K20) or sumthing like that..but my question is...Should I do it?, will it cause it to idle hard? or not at all...cuz i still plan to drive it on the weekends still.........Jus want to know if its still streetable after taking that off.

i think you are thinking of the EP3 idler pulley. Since the EP3 has electronic steering, people use the idler pulley from that when they aren't going to use power steering
