It seems pep boys carries Dayco line as well , for 29.99 =D welp , off to get my belt ( Only one in stock so I'm out. ) Will let you guys know ( who haven't done anything like this.) how this works out.

Well , Everything was a success , I have better amp coming out , a little more response in the steering and a noticable boost in torque , Not much but it's there , maybe 5-10 HP. Next is an AC delete pulley =D
I got one thing left to do and that is to figure out what size of star* like bit I need to get those damn star* headed bolts out with so I can finish taking the smog pump out. Friggin crap. I pulled the pulley off so the belt could go on and that works but the shaft rubs the belt by a 1/4" and I know that won't be good for it so until I get the smog pump completely out , crap!

Heres what she looks like. Runs well I noticed my RPM went up a little on idle as well but I will adjust fuel and air ratio tomorrow.

I took her out for a bit and she chirped just a hair more than usual on a 1.5k rpm take off.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get rid of that peice of shit smog pump. The belt isn't too much , the T-star bit is easily found at any automotive parts store ( ie: Autozone , Napa , Checker , Pep boys. ) The size was a T-45 and they came out rather easily. Estimated Removal time with right tools - 5 minutes max.
I'm ordering a A/c delete pulley this morning as well so when I recieve that I will update about that too.

Some one should design a front end component engine mount that has the Alt - PS - WP - Tensioner all on off one side mount instead of all over the damn place.If anyone knows of a company that has already designed such a thing , let me know a link of company name , I am highly interested in it if not , Perhaps I will look into designing something like that. Who knows..

could always just fab one up...

I say go with an electric water pump and only worry about the PS alt and tensioner.

Chevyracincamaro · #11 10-11-2004, 07:26 PM

i heard the electric pump was a bad idea unless you were doing hard core NHRA drag racing. as in, not good for street apps...

Both deletes are finished now , smog and a/c.

When I took the a/c pump off and free spun it compared to the delete pulley free spin , the a/c motor had a ton of drag in it. My baby is cookin now.
