I am using the UPR one but that is because I have a 351w, I hear the FMS is a good one. Takes a lot of weight off the front thats about it I dont even notice my A/C being gone since I never used it anyway, ohh and the engine bay looks a lot better

Is it necessary to have an AC delete kit anyway. I took my AC off and then just moved the power steering pump up in its place. My car has been down for a while and I have had alot of time on my hands.

Yeah do the FMS kit, it is a lot cleaner! There is a good amount of weight that is taken off the front end, exactly where you want to loose weight. On the plus side it makes taking off the intake manifold a hell of a lot easier to do.

You don't even need the kit...just buy the shorter belt. I think its 102 part number from Kragen. That's what I just did.

Fox bodies need a kit to remove the ac where 94/95's do not. The good FMS kit is no longer being produced. This is the kit which keeps the power steering in the same location and adds an idler pulley where the AC was. The only option from ford now is running the brackets which come on a non ac mustang.
