I drive a 03 mitsubishi lancer oz rally I am trying to take out my a/c because I never use it and want to take out the extra weight. I ran into a problem tho, I want to keep my power steering and the belt for it goes through the a/c. I have been trying to find an a/c delete pulley for my car but I can't find one anywhere.

If you know where I can buy one or know any other way to do this please help!

Thanks in advance

 

Might be able to get a shorter belt and go from the crank pulley to the power steering pump. Should still be able to use the idler pulley to apply tension

 

Do you know where I could buy one and what size I would need? Im going to start looking for one right now but if you knew where I could find one I would appreciate it

 

I'm not really sure to be honest. But you could get an idea in the size difference with string. Takes a piece of string, route it around everything the way it is now (A), have someone snug it up and cut it. Make sure it's in all grooves. Then do the same thing but don't go around the AC compressor (B). Measure the 2 pieces of string to see what the difference is and subtract that from the actual belt length. Actual belt length - (A-B) = New belt length. Least it sounds like it should work. Lol then I would go to carquest and see what they would be able to get me. Report back if you find something that works.

 

Alright Ill try that tonight and Ill let you know if I find something that works. Thanks for the help
