It looks like there's not a belt on the a/c compressor. I'm guessing either the belt broke, or the a/c compressor locked up, and the previous owner cut the belt off.



Also no smog pump. I think you need that to open your auxiliary ports (kind of like v-tec, 2 more intake ports open up at higher rpms). You also need that if you still have your catalytic converter.
