ac delete

[gouldy]

hi all, i'm trying to make my ibiza as light as possible for track use, and next on my removal list is the air con. just wondering if anyone has done this, or has an idea on what has to be removed all together. i've been told it's as simple as swapping to a smaller aux belt and remove all components, but surely there's more to it than that. any help is appreciated, thanks

i think you can just use a belt but the ribbed side will be on a flat roller so not ideal.

The better way is to use the standard tensioner with a mazda ribbed roller.

I used the same stuff as Lofty on Briskoda with my pd130 sport and it's been good for several years so far

my mate has said an ep2 d16 tensioner/pulley will work also, once the ac unit has been removed. as long as it's just a belt and pulley i'm happy
