I like A/C. unless its a stictly track driven car, I'd say no.

 

^ ya especially here in texas. thats the onoy way id delete mine is for track use only. but if you can live without it i say go for it.

 

Well im in missouri so it gets pretty hot here too but i think i can live with just the vent air and windows down. Might get this sometime, is it easy to do?

 

^get it from latemodelrestoration.com and save yourself some money! the worst part is getting all the other crap out of the car if you are really deleting it right. (condenser, evaporator, all the lines ect)

 

+1 i still need to get my accumulator out lol

 

get it from advance auto,same thing ,buy it off there website,i got mine for 23 bucks using there code. easy to put on,i dont use a/c and my compressor was locking up so,out with it

 

I was thinking about doing this. Mine hasn't worked since I bought it. A hole in the line or something. I don't DD my car, so an AC isn't really a huge concern.

Would it be easier to delete it, or replace the lines and try to find the hole?

sorry about the thread jack.

 

You can just get a v6 tensioner pulley and a shorter belt. Ditch all the useless idlers and have a crisper throttle response

Thats bad ass F8L! Ive honestly never seen that done. Im quit tempted to give it a shot well the cars still N/A

 

a LMR has them for 38 IIRC

 

im in Chicago and the humidity can be unbearable sometimes but the A/C is not needed. thats my personal preference tho because windows down for me does enough justice. i was also building an all out N/A car so deleting the A/C for weight reduction and freeing up a couple horses was a must. and as stated before make sure you take everything out like the condenser, canister, and other misc bits.

the ladys might not like it though, especially if theyre wearing short shorts during the summer months lmao

 

What size belt for that and does it have to be a certain year V6 tensioner. I need a compressor right now cause mine is completely not moving. I dnt really use my a/c anyway and thats a cheaper and quick fix

 

Don't do it,unless you live in california.It's really not worth it at all.

So it looks like when using a smaller belt its going to pull the tensioner up quite a bit

 

The shorter belt route you are using the tensioner to pull the belt, rather than push it like the stock setup

Oh ok. Thanks!

 

I've got the Ford Racing one on my car. I wish it were a beefier piece! I've already cracked one and had to replace it.

My car is mostly used for dragracing so I am looking for less weight up front - made a minor difference (about 30 lbs lighter).

 

Ok so now that i re-routed the new shorter belt to bypass the ac compressor i now have the belt wine on start ups. Its just for a few seconds though. It really doesnt bother me but when we have meets here im the one getting looked at when i start my car lol. Is there any way i could stop that?

 

?

 

I am picking up a 2001 v6 mustang tensioner tomorrow will that work on 2000 gt?

 

you need the tensioner pulley, not the whole unit (the v-6 tensioner wouln't work anyway).

you just swap the pulleys.

 

Polish your belt.

 

Polish the belt with what?

 

Is it worth all that trouble? NO & NO lol.Seriously though unless its a straight up track car,dont waste your time/money/sweat.

 

That is all its pretty much for in my case... i have another vehicle for dd and for when i want ac. I have been driving the mustang a lot this summer tho and not once did I want to use ac with it. I just want some weight off the front.

 

Cool,I wish I could get rid of mine.We have hot hot summer's on the east coast so that's why I can't remove mine
