Hey Guys, i recently removed the ac pulley from my blazer, i am trying to aviod putting in a ac delete pulley but am unable to figure out the size? any tips?

 

Do you mean the size of the belt? Just ask the auto parts store for a new belt for a blazer with no factory ac... there may even be a belt routing sticker somewhere under the hood that will show a picture of this.

 

I have done so, there is a difference in the pulley set up and the belt for no ac is only about an inch shorter than belt for ac...this is an over large size, i guess some info would help 91-s10 4wd 4 door

 

You are gonna have to get friendly with a parts counter person and search for a belt that will work. The only problem with that is that if it's wrong and you run it, they won't want to take it back.

 

this may be a stupid idea, but couldnt you just take a tape measure(a flexible one not the standard metal one) and run it like you would a belt and figure out the size that way?? idk if thatll work or not but i figured id throw it out there.

 

good thinking bud, im sure the old lady has a clothing tape measure floating around some where. so if i do that wouldnt i want it a little bigger in that case?

 

i would think so, just to make sure you have enough slack in the belt but im really not sure ive never used this method.

 

well i guess ill find out and let you know how it goes

 

Measuring it in this manner would assume that the routing will work properly without the A/C compressor pulley in there. It would show you if there are any problem areas though.

An A/C compressor can be left in place and used as is without being charged since the pulley runs on its own bearing anyway. Just leave the clutch wiring disconnected.
