I got a email today from american muscle and i just moved so i didnt change address on billing. So i call and ask whats up they said i ordered stuff yesterday (but I didnt). So i said what was it it was smoked headlights and the delete pump kit. So i told him yeah i moved. I guess my lady got the card and order that stuff.

My question is. is that a good delete kit

there is no need for a smog delete kit. Just get the smaller belt. The pump is far enough out of the way that it wont interfere with the belt bypassing it. Delete kit for it is just a waste of money. I am not sure what is meant by the above post. Getting a new alternator bracket and tensior setup is not necessary and you don't need it. Stock setup is fine.

no need for brackets or lame eliminator pulleys (a/c delete = ford racing a/c delete brackets to relocate the p/s pump)

something must have been run incorrectly then. I have done it for years and never had an issue. Many peeps on here do the same without issue.

Your issues were because whoever deleted the ac didn't do it right. They just removed the ac brackets and left the power steering pump bolted to then head without moving it up properly using the ford racing kit. That isnwhy the belt rubbed.

umm no i left the ac pump and bracket on it. just took the smog off. and it rubbed. it was like the fig with the 84.5 belt but went to the crank 1st the up to the water pump and over to alt..

when i got the new tenisnor i took all that stuff off it. the ac wasnt there the huge bracket looked dumb.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. With the right size belt, and re routing like the diagram shows, there should not be any rub at all.

Its how i run mine now....and the belt isn't even close to rubbing anywhere
