p/s,a/c delete?
i was wondering how to make my car a little faster between paychecks,- anyway, i was wondering if i could delete my power steering by removing the belt that goes to that pulley, or do i have to get a pulley kit? also could i do the same with my AC? - and would my car get too hot if i replaced the pulley fan with a single electric fan ( i would hard-wire it so that it ran constantly).

You could remove the belt for the AC and PS with no problems. If you are going to fully remove the system, you should remove the compressor, drier, condensor, etc and all other related air con components to fully benefit from this.
Just remember that you might not like not having a AC in the summers months.
Me personally I see it the simpiler the better.

yea keep p/s. but delete your clutch fan and a/c system. a single fan will do fine although id pick up some ford taurus SHO fans if you have access to some. im a real man, lol. no ac in louisiana summer weather is status.

I have electric fans but theres a guy who makes a strong argument that its pointless to get rid of them. Clutch fans only operate when the car isnt moving.

i have no ac or ps love it.... if you get rid off it just make sure you cap the rack off and leave a little fluid in it.
and the ps pump can run without constant fluid. just cap that off and leave fluid in it.
also you could use the adjuster pully from the ac as your new tension adjuster to get rid of the ps pump.

I hate not having A/C or power steering. As a matter of fact, I'm trying to get my power steering back by putting on a new pressure hose. I think it will help me when I autocross. A/C will have to wait, Mississippi summers without A/C are no joke.

You must be a pretty big guy. My best friend drives a EG6, he's a big fellow too, there's nothing like seeing the reaction of people when such a small car pulls up and BMF steps out. I think I can live without A/C for now but manuevering the car at low speeds, pulling in and out of tight parking spaces with no P/S is a pain for me.
