Re: Pulley question yet again. . . .

["Francois St-Amand" <vwfrank@mail.geocities.com>]

Just removed my a/c on my 'roc...  Easy job but the bolts on the 
pulleys are VERY easy to strip.  (I paid 20$ to get two lousy bolts 
out!!)

Find a stock rabbit/jet/roc/cab without A/C.  Notice the pulleys are 
very close to the block (no offset for the A/C).  You need to replace 
the water pump pulley and crank pulley (7 x 6mm allen key).

To remove the condensor, you must remove the rad.  That means you 
must drain the coolant.

(I noticed a 2-5 hp increase when I removed the compressor, 100 lbs 
less  and probably 1 MPG more)

The job takes at least 3 hr.  The hard part is the pulley bolts. 
Refill with new coolant while your at it & get a new belt for stock 
roccos without A/C.

Good luck.

Frank
