A/C delete for Alternator - new fix

[hanajack]

     Went through all posts/topics on subject.  Ended up doing it another way using existing parts.  Took awhile to figure out but looks good and is fairly simple; and allows you to go back to original.

     The fix puts Alternator on big A/C aluminum mount; uses orig. A/C drive belt and same Alt. bracket.  Requires slight modification to A/C mount, a piece of metal and a longer bolt.

     If anyone interested will post more.

OK, I'll provide some details.  Need to figure out the photo thing.

On my 81 SX4 a previous owner just ran a belt between the waterpump, crank, and alternator. As I found out in a previous adventure, the belt can be the same as the power steering belt. It's just a bit too wide and sits a little high in the grooves. The AC compressor is still there.

Most of us use free Photobucket accounts.
 www.photobucket.com
We recommend clicky pics.  This is a thumbnail picture that enlarges when clicked.
Photobucket has made a change in the way you copy the code.
Here is the way it looks to me:
For a single clicky pic, hover over the picture.  This will open a drop down menu.  Click on the fourth window, img.
It will then say "copied".
Go to the thread where you want to put the picture and paste it in.
For multiple clicky pics, hover over the pictures and click on the small box at the bottom of the picture.
Scroll down and click on "Choose action".  Click "Generate code for selected".
This will open another page.  Click on the third box, "IMG for bulletin boards & forums".  It will say "copied".  Paste it into the thread of your choice. 
In both instances you can select "Preview" to make sure it is what you want before you post it.

    Thanks for that Ken.  I opened an account with Photobucket and have some pictures but don't see how to insert them between the "img-img" in a post here?
