  • Anyone done A/C delete on a 3.8L?

    If you have or know who has, can anyone tell me what size belt I need to get? Thanks!

    61.5 or 62.0
    Get everything around that size, and play with it until it fits. MIght struggle to find an appropriate size with aftermarket pullies. I had to go back to my stock water pump pulley, instead ofthe ZZP one.

      If I have stock pulleys and everything that the belt will be on is stock, what size? 62.0?

              Get a peice of string, wrap it around as if it were the belt then cut it to length... then measure it and you have your belt length. amazing huh? [img]smile.gif[/img]

                      If the 61 is close get something just a bit larger. Or you could just measure it like Hawgs said.

                        Just curious why you're doing this? To save weight?
