hi all im thinking of taking off the ac pump but can do away with the air pump ????? and using smaller belts ive beleve i have seen it done but im not 100% if its ok to do so ??????
Hiya,
We have supplied many many short belts to carry out this conversion with never a problem over the last 5 years
Also if you want to do this properly without just bunging up the pipes we can also supply the blanking plates as well.
Here is a link for you that may help,

but what will it do if i remove the pump ???????????? is it needed ??
Think you need to read a few posts on this matter as just simply removing it will not do and can cause you some probs. As Clive stated buy the blanking kit and then you can safely remove all the emmisssion stuff but make sure that your water pump is not slipping, a twin pulley for the alternator will add another belt and safeguard that area.
i got a blanking kit i fitted the to small plates to the back of the block but i dont see where the big blank goes on the engine ???
that one goes underneath the plenum bud, its fer the thingy, errmm cant think of the name, kinda retards the flames from the exhaust..
i just removed mine while i was trying to sort my apexi out used a belt from moto factors correct size and its fine some say it makes the idle lumpy but reset the apexi with the idle screw in all the way crank it back open half a notch and it purs like a kitten on smack
underneath the plenum bud, ???? , kinda retards the flames from the exhaust.
dont know where this is on the engine ??
i have a short belt on the car and it can hunt on idle sometimes
