i hear that the more power accessories you have the more drain on your motor, its charging system, and its performance. and i also hear if you use a different belt (exclude your ac compressor, and power steering) will add power. like the reverse of a supercharger> how the belt hinders even more power, the s. belt also hinders power < remove the belt more power. granted some things will have to retain its section on the s belt. but will non use damage either of these systems ( the ac and ps)

thats called...removing the A/C and the power stearing, and it wont really do anything unless you move to a manual stearing rack, and remove all the a/c lines and compressor (weight reduction)

if you leave them there...the car will be a BITCH to stear under 15mph, and you have no A/C

if you want cheap power to the shift kit + pots


if you're suggesting runnina zetec w/o a belt have fun.. You will go to a nice car to a nice car with no motor in about 20 minutes

you can check them to make sure they are not overtightened.. but i would leave them hooked up ..

and just do a couple basic mods to increase your power if thats what your looking for..
