There is always been a problem finding a belt when running no A/C on a Fox, unless you get a 93 Cobra water pump pulley and get a bigger power steering pulley and good luck finding a Cobra water pump pulley, so I decided to just add a pulley, what you think?

I had a customer's car with the same issue. Installed the Ford Racing A/C delete, and cut and rewelded the mounting ear of the aluminum power steering pump bracket to move the pulley up. Worked like a charm and no idler pulley necessary.

Now after the S/C it should take off better while filling up at the gas station. [Razz]

What do you do when you remove AC and ps pump and have no smog pump but running the blower set up and alternator is running at the bottom ? That's the dilemma I'm running into

It will be alot easier to route if you change to a forward rotation water pump in that case.Or an electric one.
