not sure on the belt length

though it may be a pain in the a_s ive been contemplating the idea of while at the drag strip just remove the belt and bring an extra battery or jumper cables just incase. all the belt drives is the A/C and alternator as far as i know.
just my .02

how much of gain will no ac give you, im guessing minimal in hp but some weight reduction? Is it worth it?

I am guessing the same as an intake, so 4-7 maybe

we did it to fit the turbo in nicely and charge pipes

if you just run without the belt at all you should free up a good 15 hp id say its well worth it
