Removing A/C and keeping P/S.

[205t16]

Is their a way to remove your air con compressor and all the lines and still run a belt from something to drive the power steering pump?

I have never seen the setup but judging from the way it was installed on my RX7 I would say you'd need to find a shorter belt and just run it over the remaining pullies. That would work wouldn't it? It won't change the speed at which everything turns..

i was thinking the same thing but i like to get a bit of info from someone whos done this already to suggest what type of belt to use and so on.

Would be possible since mine did only have an A/C... However, that used to be a 4AC powered A/C.

so can anyone tell me what type of belt to use when you remove the a/c and just run the power steering pump off the remaining pulleys.

Cant remember the belt but i got mine from Halfords. It took about 2 attempts but basically i measured the distance with string and took the string and old belt with me. That way you know how many teeth you need on the belt and the string will give you the length.. Although i remember for some reason i got one that was too long and the tensioner wouldnt take out the slack, but i just took the belt back and swapped it.

Halfords have your answer

No sutch thing as halfords in ireland so thats out of the question but ill try and measure it up with a bit of string like you said and match something up, nice one.
