[KyleEBK]

Hi i bought the ford ac eliminator kit is there anyhting i should know about doing it? is it pretty easy, anything to watch for? do i need any special tools? i rented a pulley puller its 4 pieces how the hell do u use it tho? ha

Puller not needed. You are basically just moving the P/S pump where the A/C used to be, it's an adapter bracket. You will need a different belt.

you sure? in the summit instructions it looks like ya gotta take the pulley off to slide the pump thru the bracket where the ac was and then put the pulley back on

can i get a step by step on how to do it ?

You dont have to take any pulley off.. Its a 2 piece bracket that just slides the power steering pump up. A shorter belt is needed though.

this should help. it is a 351, but it is the same kit for both i believe.

Nope, you pretty much are just moving that whole bracket up. No need to even touch the pulley

For me, the bracket went on without a hitch. I just had to get a shorter belt matched up to the string that I routed around my accessories for measurement. I matched one up but it had more slack in it than I was comfortable with so I got the next size down and all is well.

No puller needed.

Make sure you want to do it. I regret doing it on my car and am gathering the parts up to put the A/C back on. Dropping 20 pounds was not worth it to me

ah really wow, that makes things easier,

my car doesnt have ac its msising all the lines and condensor, i forgot to pick em up from the guy i boguht the car from

maybe one day i will reinstall it

if i take the smog pump off too what do i have to disconnect? is it easy?

i have a 73 inch belt that is for it without smog or ac

+1 I wish I had left mine alone too.

Here's a belt size diagram if it is of any help to the OP.
