I have a 96 3.8, just wondering if there was anyway to set it up to bypass the ac unit. I only drive the car so many months out of the year, and I think I used my ac like 4 times last year. Just wondered if there was a different tensioner set up, and obviously a shorter belt set up. Id like to change my car over to non ac if possible, so if anyone knows if this can be done, let me know.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Defender24:
Can't you just remove the condenser and everything else ac related from your car? That would make less strain on the belt and free up some power. I do notice when the ac is off, I get a noticeable gain in hp. I can feel it jump when I'm on WOT and I turn it off.<hr></blockquote>
i have ran my car on the track with the AC on for testing measure i ran .02 slower...ac turns off at WOT
o yeah there is a short belt but it does rub a bit..ntohin major though.id suggest taking all of the AC stuff out if you dont use it
