A/C delete--new belts?

[Slippery]

Since my compressor, condenser, and hoses are all junk, I'll be scrapping my air conditioning. This, of course, will require shorter belts to run the alternator. Will stock "non-A/C" belts work, or is the alternator mounted in a different (higher) location on non-A/C rigs? I *could* just measure and get belts for the correct length, but I'd rather use the factory "non-A/C" accessory drive arrangement. Any ideas?

Non-AC belts should work fine. Alt is mounted in same position to best of my knowledge.

I removed the AC on my '77 Chero. The stock non-ac belts worked fine.

Grab a replacement compressor at the boneyard and do the OBA thing. It is the best mod I ever did on my truck.

Slippery, is your interior burgundy colored?

I agree with using the old compressor for onboard air. Here is a link with a lot of good info.

No, it's light tan, with science-project carpet and mouse-feces leather. (EEEWWWWWWW!!!)

May I assume you're in need of the underdash vent system?

I will certainly look into OBA as a future mod, but at the moment, getting the drivetrain/frame/tailgate into operating condition is the highest priority. smile.gif
