belt routing w/o A/C 96LT4 swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any way of routing a smaller belt w/o A/C on a 96 LT4 swap? I want to run everything else on the engine, alt. P/S, tenioner and idler. I could run the a/c pump just for a pulley but don't want something that is not working. I don't need a/c. must be a way to do this with out buying differant brackets.

Is this the GM serpentine belt setup? If so, they sell a A/C delete pulley. It basically replaces the A/C compressor with a standard pulley that is the same size. You still use the same belt and routing.

I bought mine from Rock Auto online. About $40 or so, depending on application.

Thats what I did on my LT1, I had to trim the framerail to allow clearence for the delete pulley though. The pulley sits right in the curved "lip" thats bent up on the frame, I purchased the pulley on E-Bay for a good price, you might check there as well.

I like that idea does it come with a bracket and pulley that bolts to the A/C bracket? Can you send a picture of it. I looked on there sight but didn't see anything other than pulleies etc.
