a/c delete? smog delete? belt size?

[fastfords4]

I have no cats and my heads are plugged in the back so my smog pump is just wasting space spinning the belt. I plan on taking it off and running a shorter belt...i also want to do an A/c delete as i have no need for it in a convertible. So my question is do i have to buy an a/c delete kit or can i just take it off and run an even shorter belt? My final question and MOST IMPORTANT is belt sizes? what size belt whould i run w/o smog but keeping a/c or what size belt would i run with out a/c or smog? Also im anyone has a diagram of how the belt runs on either setup would be greatly appretiated! thanks in advance!

you will be better off buyin an a/c delete kit. but i have the smog deleted and a/c deleted with a kit and i run a 69in. belt

 

[fastfords4]

how much $ was the kit and what brand is it?....is it the kind that moves the p/s up to where the a/c was?

I run a FMS A/C delete kit, no smog pump and I use a 71.5" belt.

The a/c delete kit is nice, it moves the power steering pump up to where the a/c condenser was.

i have that same kit^ but the 71.5 was way too long so i had to modify my tensioner and put on a 69. but i do really like the kit. dont remeber the price though

Maybe cause i have the stock pulleys and you have under drives?

im running a/c delete kit with smog still on and i dont know the exact size of the belt but i just went to the parts store and got a couple sizes the one that worked the best was 2 or 3 inch shorter than stock one

71.5 for me too, with UD's, no smog and FRPP a/c delete.....

Get the string out and measure it, that is the easiest way to get the right belt the first time.
