95opal Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 If you cant reroute the belt with a shorter one then yes the AC delete pulley will work and also maintain stock belt length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 so the belt would keep the same route and length with the one a/c delete pulley right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 correctJust make sure the pulley in the delete is the same size as the AC compressor pulley. I got a upr smog pump delete pulley and it happened to be just a smidge smaller than the actually pulley so I had to go and buy a shorter length belt by about 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 ok, so all i have to do is remove the lines attached to the firewall that go in to the dash, and get a the a/c delete pulley (the exact same size as the original) and take off the compressor. then put belt back on in the same pattern as it was. simple as that?

Det_Riot Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yesssire, pull off your compressor, the lines, the condenser, remove any wires from it to save some weight ;] and get the delete pulley to keep the same belt as before! http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-19216B/96-10-Mustang-46L-2V-Or-4V-Air-Conditioner-A-C-Delete-Eliminator-Pulley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schiffy Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 When I deleted the AC on my '95, one way to measure for a shorter belt is to take a piece of string and run it the route your belt will go and then measure from end to end where it touches.

F8L GT Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 what you need is a 6 rib V6 tensioner pulley, and a 6 rib 70.5" long belt. Remove the ac compressor, and 2 idler pulleys. Then remove the tensioner and swap out the pulleys. The tensioner will have a smooth pulley and you want the ribbed one to be on there. The pulley will bottom out on the tensioner so you will either have to put a small washer behind it or make a little clearance on the tensioner itself. Next, make sure the belt is around the tensioner before you bolt it on and then route your belt. Now, instead of the tensioner pushing in on the belt for tension, its pulling out on the belt to keep tension. You will also notice a little better throttle response going this route.Heres a pic of the new belt routing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 so i would be using a v6 tensioner and putting a 6 ribbed pulley on that? are the gt tensioner pulleys ribbed? i cant remember, if so can i use that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 You use your stock tensioner and put a v6 tensioner pulley on your stock tensioner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
