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.
