its stupid to remove the AC system, buy a goddamn alternator only belt and gain at least 4 HP

really now, then in a few years or whenever you can put the other belt on and sell the car, what the hell is 30-40 pounds going to do for you on the street?
nothing

maybe if your using it as a track car and you want to save AT BEST 1/10 a second from that 30-40 pounds then go ahead and remove that shit.
