^^^ he's correct

I guess they would call #2 a tensioner pulley(although kind of vague on these engines) but yea it's a tensioner/idler pulley for the A/C compressor belt. The A/C compressor bolts onto the bracket that #2 is attached too.

 

SO if I'm not going to be using power steering, or air conditioning, I can remove number 1 and 2 with no problems? Are they used in conjunction with anything else?

 

Go ahead and remove them, the alternator belt is on its own so it won't affect that at all.

Can anyone vouch for this? (no offense). I'm just paranoid.

He is correct - AC, PS, and the Alternator have individual belts. It will affect nothing.

Didn't know A/C was even optional on modded cars...

Haha I know, I know. That's kind of the whole point to the thread. I don't want AC so I can save some weight and have a less crowded bay. I figured it would be OK to remove the compressor, hoses, and AC fan without causing any mechanical problems, but I wanted to ask first.

 

removing a/c is stupid and gay. but wait...you can yield a whopping 2 hp. i hate the person that removed mine because putting it back in is a headache

Kill yourself please.
Stupid and Gay? Sorry, but when your engine is packed with a big turbo and no room in the front end for the condenser, something has to go...

 

ok well if its going into a built motor that is actually tracked then i can understand the removal of a/c. but i cant stand it when ricers running 15.5 at the track remove there a/c and p/s thinking its gonna yield big gains. for daily econo-boxes i think its stupid. end rant. and dont get all butt-hurt about an opinion

yeah, I agree. 2hp isnt worth not being comfortable. I LOVE looking at ricers frying while im as cool as the other side of the pillow lol.

 

15.5 is fast yo if you hit the NoS. Ya...Ricer/Stock cars, I would agree. They make stickers and Neon lights for that. Took every ounce of me not to slap the Sh*t out of a guy buying neons at the local checkers a couple days ago. Not butt-hurt, just don't lump all of us in (I apologize for earlier...drinking more than my fair share tonight)
