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.

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.

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.
