Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Even more of a reason to not get rid of the A/C.


Ditching the A/C was cool in the 80s and 90s but I think fast cars with quiet exhaust and all accessories (including A/C and powersteering) are cool these days.

yeah, you can also tap into this wire for an undercover nitrous activation (no micro switch needed). It is the orange/lt blue wire that connects to the A/C cutoff switch and pin 54 of the A9L. This wire is grounded under WOT only, so you can connect your nitrous relay ground to this wire and the circuit is only completed during WOT. bye bye micro switch.

Good information there. I like being sneaky.

I got the elimintation because my 88... is only driven so often and i wanted it to be a little radical car. Cool in my opinion is like.. m5.. or audi something.

I agree. I want to enjoy driving my car and not suffer. I will forever have AC!

It's not that I want to get rid of the A/C, It actually never came with the motor. I think...

I bought the motor to swap into my 1st Gen Rx7 (Which never had A/C). Since my car does not have power steering, I am just taking off the heavy bracket and pump. This is my first 5.0, and so far loving it. Still trying to get the MegaSquirt to run properly though.

+1 on never ditching my ac....I have black leather and you are miserable without ac here you need it year round...I would rather skip a meal a day for the weight reduction...lol

Well that makes it a different ball game then. If your car doesn't have A/C or powersteering then there is no reason to keep the pumps or brackets on your engine.

ok... darrel u know ur shit... ill give u tht.... but i know for a fact my setup is safe it doesnt rub it has plenty of tension... so explain the difference to me between what im running and the same principle as a threaded tensioner? explain that... and no disrespect to u or anything but i dont like the way u come off as tellin what i can and cant tell people... ive had it like tht for months no problems im not one of the r and r guys

[teal89]

I go along with this... People always tell me, you are losing power having all the accessories... I laugh right in thier faces. First off the a/c is nothing more than an extra pulley when the a/c is off and power steering does not hurt a thing. I always tell em, "if vettes can produce over 500+hp with all accessories off the lot, then why the hell can we match or beat the hp range with ours with the accessories and don't say because chevys can do that!". People don't realise that blocks and pistons are made for both companies and same for cams. It's a matter of how you put your stuff together meaning your setup.

You are modifying a spring loaded tensioner. I don't think there is anything to explain. Post a picture of it and it will explain itself.

Which is where I decided to "rig" it just a little bit followed by LOL. That says enough for me right there and if that's not enough you are putting a screw in something to keep it from doing what its meant to do. All darrell is saying is if you want to f up your car go ahead but don't talk people into doing it too. Just cause it can be done doesn't mean its a good idea. You CAN drive a car with your feet but you are never gonna catch me rolling like that.

first of all i didnt say they had to do it... only reason i did it is cuz i was in a rush i took the compressor off and some douche through the shit away... however i had to make it work... i did... and it works fine AND NO IM NOT CHANGING IT... however i would not do tht if i had time to either relocate my powersteering or buy the delete kit... im just calling out the fact tht it is possible... now if people wanna get all technical and pissy attitudes i can do that too.... idk much aboyut mustangs right now but i have built the fuck out of some hondas... no offence intended to anyone but i had a civic tht was probably faster then 75 percent of the cars on here... but hondas are gay but i do miss my h22 swapped ef hatch (a bitch to swap in) th made 440ish whpin a 1500 pound car (pointless but fun) and a 93 hatch with a built/boosted k24 bottom with ported polished type s heads on 27 pounds a boost... im definately a little drunk but like i said no disrespect to u guys but it is possible was my point... with tht being said i tink im gonna go to sleep now * as u pointed out my rig lol im bout to buy a procharger and im gonna fix it the right way once i get it but it does work fine i just dont like rigging shit... night fellas... (ps my shit still works

How fast is faster than 75% of the cars on here? How fast are 75% of the cars on here? There are alot of fast cars on this site and likewise there are alot of guys that could care less about going fast and just like driving a Mustang.

[fredstar]

can anyone tell me where that black bracket that come with the ac eliminator kit goes? i have the ac eliminator kit, that moves the power steering pump up, with no idle pulley, the bracket i dont know how to mount is the flat one, the other goes directly on the power steering pump, but the wierd shaped one, i have no idea, lol
