Air Conditioning (AC) Delete, 03-05 Neon SRT-4 / 01-10 PT Cruiser

If you'd like to delete the A/C compressor from your vehicle, allowing your engine to rev faster and produce more power, this is the proper way to do it. By eliminating the A/C compressor you'll gain 7-10 HP and eliminate nearly 30 lbs of weight from your vehicle! Additionally, this kit allows you to properly eliminate your A/C compressor while retaining the power steering pump.

This kit includes a brand new power steering drive belt and idler pulley that installs using one of the existing bolt bosses on the a/c bracket.

Note: The belt we provide is intended for use with the stock crankshaft pulley. If you have an underdrive pulley installed on your vehicle, you will need to use a different belt than the one provided. The best way to determine which belt you need is to install the AC delete pulley, measure roughly how much smaller the new belt must be, and ask your local auto parts store to provide you with the required belt size for installation with an underdrive pulley.

If you already have this kit and need a replacement belt, this is the part number of the belt: K040512.

We now have the option to buy the kit with or without the belt.

The bolt that secures the pulley to the AC bracket torque spec is 21 ft lbs, or 250 inch lbs.

This kit uses the big cast iron AC condenser bracket, it stays attached to the engine.
