Ok today I have started to tidy up and tighten up everything on the tubby lump and wondered what people did about belts as I want to lose the air con pump as wont be plumbing it and bet it would save some weight as well and I need all the help I can get in that department ! What has everyone done with this or are planning to do about it ?

step 1. remove aircon compressor from engine
step 2. dismantle aircon compressor and look at how it works - it's an amazing multiple-double-ended-piston arrangement with a rotating "crankshaft" shaped like a wave, moving pistons up and down with reed valves.
step 3. once you're done marvelling, either make an ornament out of the compressor, or bin it.
and you're done \\:D/

get rid of the a/c pump and then cut a belt, wrap it around till its the right length, mark it and measure. then pop down ur motor factors and give em the length etc and see what they can magic up for you
