How many have done the A/C delete without the bracket?
I'm debating removing my A/C system while I have it easily accessible (it doesn't work anyway). I was wondering if anyone has put significant mileage on a car with A/C deleted using just a shorter belt (This Thread), and whether you'd recommend someone to do just that?

Ran it a little on the track car, but recently bought the relocating bracket to allow me to improve my induction setup. No issues while I was running it. I bought a bracket at Pep Boys and cut it down to fit.

I just bought mine like that. Someone broke the compressor previously and removed it. I've put probably over 1000 miles on thecar so far with no I'll effects. I am looking forward to getting the AC fixed though.

This method worked for the #95 944-Spec car for the race season and also for the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race. The alternator did not come loose nor did the belt need to be retighten.

I've been using that 944 spec delete method for 2 years now. I bought a plate of aluminum to cut a delete bracket out of, but I've been too busy with other things so I still run the cheap fix.
It's definately cost effective !!

Thanks for the replies. 25 hours of non-stop race abuse does say good things for the modification I have to admit haha. Looks like I'll take that route, time to get cracking
