  • ? about belts...

    Well I was wondering what the effects of rerouting my belt system would be? I had the belts rerouted to run around the ac compressor b/c the ac don't work anymore. Wouldn't this mean that there is less strain on the engine and it wouldn't have to work as hard? Would it help the engine any like in performance?

    It should free a few horses up, since it doesnt work go ahead and take the pump off and help lighten it up a lil bit

      On the 3.8, I believe you have to replace the smooth idler pulley with a ribbed idler pulley if you remove the AC compressor. Don't quote me on that, however.
