has anyone removed both the power steering pump and the A/C pump? If so what belt do you use now?

Edit: Duh this is for an SR20DET

 

I don't get it... Is this a joke?

 

uh... #1 why remove your ac? it'll say you like 10 pounds (literally) and just make you hot... unless you are building a drag car, there is not point in tossing it... wtf are you talking about w/ the ps pump, you just take the belt and pump off...

 

The SR uses three separate belts for alt, ac and ps... remove any two and the third one isn't affected...

 

if u want to disable it just pull the belt off. if u take any of those lines off of the pump ur gonna be sorry

 

why remove your PS?

thats stupid.

 

Ok basically there is no forum anywhere with the kind of good info that is here, that is specifically geared toward my project.

I am not swapping into a 240sx. I am swapping into a car that doesn't have (or need) power steering.

That is also part of the reason for my stupid question(s) because I do not even have my engine yet. I have my Transmission Adaptor, custom flywheel, and clutch (and the car)

I am just trying to limit the amount of time I will spend scratching my head once I do get the engine shipped.

The engine is approx 60-120 lbs (it is replacing a 200lb engine, I have no exact number on how much an SR20DET weighs but I assume less than 365lbs of a VG) heavier than the one it is replacing, removing (hopefully 20lbs+) will be a big start in keeping my car balanced without requiring even more reworking on my suspension.

I am not new to swaps, I am just new to nissan.

 

If you're worried about weight don't forget the stock exhaust manifold and o2 housing weigh a good amount.

 

awesome, thanks
