Does AC rob power even if not engaged? Or is it only when engaged?

100% when engaged. When not, depends on who you talk too, but it aint the lightest thing either......1978 Formula 461 in progress of being built :rock:

just the resistance of the bearing which isn't much. The biggest parasitic drain on the engine is the power steering pump because it has no clutch. Other than that, it's just dead weight, so ditch it anyway.2002 Pewter V6 Camaro M5 <br /><br />Quickest stock-motor N/A V6 4th Gen F-body.<br />2nd Quickest N/A V6 4th Gen F-body overall.<br />mods: Gear, weight reduction, tuning <br /><br />Fear the Gear. 13.585 @ 100.05 1.827 60\'<br /><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.NJFBOA.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.NJFBOA.org</a>Comment

If it is taken off...Must I get the Delete Pulley or can I just get a shorter serp belt and reroute it bypassing the AC?Comment

shorter belt will work, mine was really tricky cause i don't have to worry about the water pump, and i couldn't find the belt size in any autozone type place around me2002 Pewter V6 Camaro M5 <br /><br />Quickest stock-motor N/A V6 4th Gen F-body.<br />2nd Quickest N/A V6 4th Gen F-body overall.<br />mods: Gear, weight reduction, tuning <br /><br />Fear the Gear. 13.585 @ 100.05 1.827 60\'<br /><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.NJFBOA.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.NJFBOA.org</a>Comment

then how are you going to steer?Comment

A good amount of power is lost to the power steering, you can steer, it's very difficult. I'm planning on getting a manual rack that has a better ratio so it's easier to steer.2002 Pewter V6 Camaro M5 <br /><br />Quickest stock-motor N/A V6 4th Gen F-body.<br />2nd Quickest N/A V6 4th Gen F-body overall.<br />mods: Gear, weight reduction, tuning <br /><br />Fear the Gear. 13.585 @ 100.05 1.827 60\'<br /><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.NJFBOA.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.NJFBOA.org</a>Comment
