Hi, In the past have seen somewhere an air-con compressor delete bracket and idler pulley. But as hard as I try I cannot find who makes these, can any one help? Thanks

 

I've been looking for one as well, the last time I tried getting one made the company I talked to stopped replying to my emails inquiring about them.

Someone able to shed any light on the matter?

 

Can you remember who was selling them in the past?

 

i was considering doing this myself, until this ridiculous heat wave, i think i like ac now lol

 

Mantapart was the company 'working on' a solution for me.

 

Thanks for that, doing a bit of a search last night and found that in the US the Aerial Atom is using/ used the LSJ (in the UK they only fit the Honda) does anyone know what they used,?

They also look to have a nice header too.

 

you might try Nate at Smoothflow, he could possibly machine something for you

whats the point though? the AC system cant weigh too much...

 

Hi I am using the engine in a VX220 here in the uk and the car does not have air-con also its only 870 kg so I really dont want to carry the compressor weight around

 

Mantapart has a horrible reputation for screwing people over in the J-body world. I would stay as far away from them as possible.

On the flip side, Nate from Smoothflow has an excellent reputation here. I would contact him if I were any of you...

 

Thanks for the recomendation, I have looked at his web site and it looks good

 

Have you ever picked up an A/C compressor?

I don't have operational A/C as I have GM Stage 3, I don't use it often enough even if it did work, and losing weight off the front of these cars can do wonders!

 

Hi,
How far are you with the install?
My car is finally finished, so now I'm slowly working on my LSJ conversion. Just received a P12 LSJ ECU and I'm now working out the wiring. Want to make it as "plug & play possible" for my VX220/Speedster...

And an AC idler pulley would indeed be very usefull. Will ask the Atom Ecotec guys for this.

 

I have a non working A/C system myself... definitely looking into this so if anyone gets more info... post that **** up

 

also with that said you get rid of the condensr than you got moe air flow to rad and h/e cooler temps

 

Asked around in the Atom forum and got some photo's from Bolus which helped me a lot.
The Brammo build Atom with Ecotec LSJ engine obviously has no AC, but also no idler pulley on that spot. The whole belt layout is different than the normal LSJ pulley system.

Off course the crank pulley and the SC pulley are in the same spot, but they have a 2,2 Ecotec belt tensioner and I think also the 2,2 alternator as it spins clockwise and the alt. pulley is different than the standard LSJ version.
There is a custom idler pulley mounted above the alternator and only a single-sided ribbed belt is used:




Hope it helps your build.

 

the Grand Am Cobalts use the stock Cobalt ac compressor gutted and dismantled, using the front pulley, bearing and pulley side ac comp housing for a simple reliable light weight idler that fits....

 

If anyone happens to be located in the twin cities and wants to swing by my shop we could try to come up with some sort of AC delete kit.

Feel free to PM me if you're interested.

Nate

 

damnit if I lived close I'd be there in a second
