Air pump is gone. That is a pulley on a bracket to take the place of the air pump. I am going to get the Pettit pully kit installed in a week or so. To help clean it up further,

you know tyou can take those pullies on the e-shaft off right? since you dont have p/s or a/c you can take two of the pullies off just remove 4 bolts and retainer thing and the pullies come right off.

Kevin - I am getting new pullies next week. It will eliminate all the extra crap I am not using.



I am pissed because I would have liked to have dropped a 9# flywheel in it while it was apart. Next mod in the future.



As far as the front bumper goes the braces stay. I street drive it and do not trust people around me. Especially since all you damned grandparents are down here screwing up all our roads.



Dont get me started. Everyday is another adventure.

that remidns me gotta remove that little p/s cpu and my cruise control.



i cant recall how much my a/c weighed but i think together (p/s, a/c, and the mounting bracket) it was like 51lbs, after i emptied my engine bay out there's a small yet noticeable rise on acceleration.
