For those that have deleted compressor please chime in. Options I see is run shorter belt or fabricate bracket to run OEM routing (have not seen any kits out there).

Thoughts? Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

No one here has done it yet?

 

I' a DE - so I don't know how applicable this is? I blitzed mine a few years back in the name of weight savings. I believe I have a pretty good heat/cold weather tolerance but damn - sometimes it gets hot! so if you think you'll miss your AC than you will.

What is your intention for the AC delete?

 

Track car.

HR is different and needs a shorter belt. Just wondering what size would be best to have the tensioner still work properly... and if there is additional work required.
I got a reply in the vq35hr section though from dkmura, just waiting for more details about drilling and tapping the tensioner.

 

GodISme did you ever get details about ac delete from dkmura please pm me any hardware changes that were needed

 

Run a string around the new configuration
Bring tied string to autozone
They can match out a belt for you.

Bring belt home and test
Return for correct size if off

PROFIT?

 

Here's the same info I sent previously: issue #12 of Nissan Sport Magazine detailed the HR swap. By drilling and tapping the central belt tensioner, I found that a Gates Micro-V belt (part #K050505) would work for deleting the a/c. You will need to check the belt tension manually before drilling the tension arm. This is NOT a factory authorized procedure and let the modifier beware.
