There is a bracket you need. Check any mag, summit, jegs, ect....

don't get that march one or whatever its called. Just go and order the one from Ford. It looks a hell of a lot better and plus it's ford so it will fit right.

The March A/C delete works great in my car. Looks just like mustanggt5091's but no powdercoated performer. I think the ford piece looks funny and it is two pieces. Check your info first on it bro.

Quick88LX,
The FMS AC Delete looks more factory than the march system. I have also heard of belts slipping because the tensioner couldnt keep it tight enough after it was relocated in the march ac delete kit.

The FMS AC delete looks way better IMO and I am sure others will agree.

Well looks are your opinion but, I know way to many people that have had problems, bent, and broke the FRPP one! Just trying to watch out for ya!

Don't you have the UPR kit with the dummy pulley?

thank you for the help on the subject. I have heard from a lot of people not to go with the March Kit for those exact same reasons. I have not heard anything bad about the one from Ford. They wouldn't make something a piece of crap that has to do with something as vital as the belt.

The belt is Vital? damn I better buy one then maybe thats why I keep over heating and getting all these dead batteries...

Yup I do have the UPR kit! Cheap and works great, even on a 351w! [patriot]

No dummy pulley here, all the March or UPR kit does is flip the tensioner. I guess we all just found out that both kits work equally well. Whoever is spittin bull about certain kits always failing to wirk is full of it: [BS flag]

If you take out the a/c and smog pump you can just get a smaller belt. I will find out the size that I used and pm you.
