On the Goblin, I removed most of the AC system because it was in the way and adding un needed weight. I'd like to remove the compressor, too, but not until I find a shorter belt. Did these rigs ever come with power steering and no a/c? Is there a belt that is the right size if I just tell the parts guy 93 with PS but without AC or will I have to custom size one?

They come without a/c but not sure if yours has the same bracket? just take some ribbon and a stapler with you and pop the hood so you get get the correct size at the auto parts place.

Hey Digger
The info I've got says you can use the non-a/c stock belt....put and bracket should be the same.

I got a 90 sidekick in the garage ( good parts) it's got PS and no AC, I'll get the number and brand off the belt.
Your PS runs off the outer crank pulley right? ( inner for the ALT and outer for PS) if so the belts should be the same.
I'll post belt #s tomorrow when I get off work

Cool... yeah the outer belt spins the ps and the ac... It's a flat belt, too, not a V-belt...

Why not turn your ac compressor into a air compressor? I have a jeep friend who did that to run his lockers and air up at the end of the trail ride. Works quite well.

When I took my engine out, I noticed that the PS pump could be locked down or pivoted indicating that, with the AC compressor not installed, you can adjust the belt tension with the PS pump.
I think that the locking bolt is under the pump and accessable through the round holes in the pump's pulley.
Whatever the case, take a good look at the way the PS pump is mounted and you'll discover how to set it so it'll take the slack out of the belt.
Hope this helps!
