Umm...common sense tells me that all the open lines, you will have 2 coming out of the firewall, you can cap. Probably some shorter bolts to go in the holes that held on the a/c compressor, I am not sure if on a 2.2 those bolts hold anythign else other than the a/c compressor or not, if they do, you will need some shorter bolts.

Be careful when opening up the lines. Just because the ac doesn't work doesn't mean there isn't still refridgerant in there, and it's not something you want sprayed in your face or on your hands.

Belt only no pulley. Advanced autoparts. 345K5 belt.......Might need longer belt size it is not the same from all suppliers. I'm unsure why. ~~shrugs~~

I really think most of the gains were in my head.

Why would you get an underdrive pulley if you want a supercharger. You would be geting less boost with a underdrive pulley.
I have a pretty red stock sized lightweight pulley with your name on it if you want...it just PM me.

Just ask for the "non-ac belt". After that, you DONT HAVE to remove all the other junk, but you might as well... you shouldnt have to cap anything bc nothing will be flowing through the lines.

The 2.4 was not offered with a NON-AC BELT, they used a A/C bypass pulley with a stock belt size.
Also capping the lines the come out off the firewall is a good idea to keep corrosion out of the system, and have better defrost on your windows.
