Go with a Ford Racing A/C delete kit. The March kit is cheasy. Unless you buy March's deluxe power steering mount which is kind of like the Ford kit, but it's a lot better looking.

As for the belt, yeah you can bypass the A/C. It's not going to do you enough good to worry about it though unless you actually pull the compressor. It's more of a weight savings rather than trying to gain power by eliminating pulley drag.
