Need belt help!

[Voldemort]

I want to drop the A/C Compressor and run a Electric fan(In order to get less pull on the engine and better cooling, and I do not need a broken a/c anyways) but have not figured out how to run the belt and what size belt to use. Any one done this are have any helpful links?

Not sure how to run it... I'm not sure you would be able to without putting an idler in the A/C spot. But if you can figure out a way... why not do the old fashioned trick.... take a piece of string tie it tight around all the pulleys in the correct direction. Take it off and measure it or have it measured. Get a belt half an inch bigger than that.

Thanks for your help Whowey, but I got a better idea and after some searching I found some guys who have done it. I had the idea to put the Alt. were the A/C once was and get rid of the all other pulleys(Fan,idler thingy,& A/C). They also make a a/c delete bracket that can be bought but I figured this would be a better use of the space and get the alt up out of harms way. But I now need a a/c bracket from a renix 4.0 (I think) and a extra alt. bracket. here are a few pics.

Now I just need someone with a renix to part out?????????

Heck.. that's a pretty good idea... Your cables to the alternator would be shorter also. So you could make up a shorter set.

You need which bracket from a Renix?? An alternator or an A/C??

A/C cause I need the one that uses horizontal bolts not vertical.
