The ac belt is separate from the main belt. Just pull both off, then only install the other. This will not drive the A/C any more. Free mod for you! (not sure why, you want to do this, but to each his own.

I did that 'mod' on my 90 300ZX. It's just less power drain on the engine. I hardly ever use the AC. I like driving with the windows down. Feels better that way.

Kinda pointless mod unless you REALLY need the weight savings (there isn't much anyway)

The pulley has very little drag when the compressor is off and the compressor also automatically turns off when you go WOT.

I f you remove all the a/c compnents i.e compressor, condensor, and lines it well take about 25 lbs (est) from the front which is pretty good. Also there is less paristic drag on the motor.
