I was going to take off my AC belt today, because average temp. around here is 30, but once i started looking at it, seemed like a real pain in the *** to do. Has anybody done it and seen any good results?

 

You should have one serpentine belt, so eliminating that pully from the loop is probably not a good idea. Along with that, the ac compressor periodically turn on and off to circulate the system to help prevent loss of the freon. You can dissconnect the pump to stop the circulation, but that will not elliminate the pully from turning.

 

ITS AN INDEPENDEDNT BELT ON A 5.3 OR 6.O....I CAN'T SEE BELT REMOVAL MAKING MUCH DIFFERENCE

 

I was just wondering cause i was reading the free horsepower mod list and AC belt removal was one of them.

 

yeah..but I REALLY THINK THEY ARE PULLING FLY-**** OUT OF PEPPER...its a tiny belt..with the a/c disengaged,it can't be pulling enough to really matter

 

I noticed a difference.

 

wait... so its not a separate belt on 4.8? i haven't looked... i considered taking it off though

 

If the average temperature there is 30 who gives a crap if it has refrigerant in it?! LOL! I say whip a pocket knife out and say bye-bye to it.

 

I'm pretty sure the 4.8's have a seperate belt as well.... It's onthe passenger side by the crank pulley.

 

it is seperate...but i still think your picking fly **** out of pepper
