slick Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Yes, its possible. You will have to make a mount to mount an extra pulley to take up the lag for removing the AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOut Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Piece of cake. Just remove the belt, remove the compressor and get a new belt meant for a 3.1 Beretta without A/C as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Removing the AC= less weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 And less drag on the entire system. My compressor broke a while back and I'm too lazy to fix it. Still am.. I just put a smaller belt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING JOKER Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 so just take it off and get a belt for a 3.1 without ac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 i'm removing AC for two reasons. less weight, and to make room for a nice FMIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 My roomate has a 1988 Beretta GTU (2.8L/5 speed)......the previous owner removed the A/C and simply ran a short belt from the crank to the power steering pump........htis BARELY gives enough belt to run the water pump. GM has a idler for the non-A/C cars......my roomate has the part number for this. When he gets back, I'll post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
