power steering & A/C pump removal

95stang50 · 05-18-2003, 08:39 PM

i was thinking about putting a manual rack and pinion in and removing the power steering pump, and since i don't use my a/c anyway i was going to just remove that too. if i do, what size belt do i need and do i need to go back to my factury pullies. and is there any thing else i need to know?

If you remove all those things you will have to get a forward rotation water pump. I have removed my A/C, power steering and smog pump. I just looped a belt around the crank, water pump and alternator pullies. Using this method you still use the factory belt tensioner.

Works for me.
