we got the cam and all in and it sounds really pissed. if you want a radical sounding cam go for the statamma stage 2 it makes your car with open headers sound like a small block pro stock. swe are running into problems with eliminating the ac since there is not a belt that is the correct size at any auto parts store. we are thinking of putting in a larger idler pulley which may take the slack of the 827k6 belt out and let the tensioner do the work. any advice from anyone?

Re: ac removal
Keep looking, my parts supplier has the belt...? They have every belt for that matter...every half inch increment. And I personally have deleted the a/c....it was my buddies camaro. Looked a lil strange, but we def did it! -
Re: ac removal
i ended up taking the compressor, did an electic water pump and changed the pullie that is on top of the comp. into a ripped pullie, measured up the new belt size and bam i was done lolWAWA-A-HOLIC

Re: ac removal
I don't know the exact size but there is a belt that will fit a stock v6 with an AC delete. I have seen it in person.Comment

Re: ac removal
i ended up using a 825 k5 so i am not using one of the ribs but it shouldn't matter. you free up a few horses and get rid of the front end vehicle weight by removing it. it may help with understeer that i am sure everyone here has noticed due to the mass so far away from the mass centroid axis. long story short lightr and easier to turn but probably not too noticeable. i removed it to make room for the exhaust piping that is going to the turbo. thanks to everyone for your responsesComment
