I wanted to know:

1.What all can I delete while still remaining a daily driver (a.c. is shot so I figure I'll delete it till I can get it all fixed up)
2. Would aftermarket pulleys and delete kits effect the alternator charge at all? (I have a couple subs and I want to keep the battery as charged as possible. But I will be upgrading the alternator soon)
3. I will be adding a supercharger in the future, will this effect my pulley and delete decisions at all?
4. Am I able to delete the smog pump? I have an offroad h pipe i'm going to be installing soon and had heard you don't need the smog pump if you have one. (off topic- is that the line that runs to the stock h pipe right behind the cats?)
5. Once I figure out what all I want to keep and delete, is there a kit from March or ne1 else that has everything i'd need to upgrade my pulleys and delete everything?

I know that's a lot but I like to know everything I'm getting into before I start a project.
~Thanks guys

Alright, lets see...

1) delete a/c and smog pump
2) going with underdrive pullies is fine IF you don't use the alternator pulley, use the stock one
3) if you go blown make sure that the smog pump eliminator you choose is the "block looking one, like from Steeda that says "works with blower" vs. the Ford Racing one that doesn't bolt up to the blower brackets
4) if you delete all of your smog equipment you won't need that metal tube
5) March has some very nice items for what you want to do

Keep in mind though that depending on what blower kit you get, you may need your stock crank pulley later on to install the add on pulley for the blower belt.

Is there an aftermarket pully the same size as the stock one just polished up? because I want a nice shiny engine bay .

Was I right about the line that running to the stock h pipe right behind the cats being for the smog pump? (I want to install the h pipe and long tubes this weekend and had noticed when I was checking everything over last weekend that there was a tube going to the h pipe and I didn't know what it ran to.)

Do you happen to know which kit ,like part #'s, from March that would include, pulleys, a.c. delete and smog delete? And does March have the proper smog delete block for a blower, or do I have to go with steeda?

I was thinking about going with a powerdyne, unless there are other self contained units , I thought I read today that procharger also has them. I just really don't want to have to tap into the oil.

Off-topic again. Cobra what kind of numbers are you putting down? I was looking in your sig. Very impressive, you've done a lot of what I want to do.

Regarding the polished pulley, you'd have to check with March, I'm afraid I haven't looked for one of those. You were right regarding the tube being part of the smog junk as well. Actually, I think that March makes the one that Steeda sells too. I just saw it in the most recent Summit Racing catalog I got yesterday too. Regarding my #'s, one of my "goals" is to get it dyno'd this coming year as well, I'm afraid I can't say what numbers I've got. I'll let you know though!
