Twenty pounds here and there might matter, or it OP just wants to clean up the engine bay some.

Or do the mod where you install the A/C compressor backwards to run as a turbo

For sure. Especially weight off the front of the car. I also did an A/C delete, but kept the PS pump in the same location. The compressor is 15lbs.

How did you do this ??? Is there a kit ??? I need a dead pulley to replace the compressor since I am running a SC'r with some other mods and the belts need to follow that path.
There is one made for the GTR motor...does anybody know if it will work?
Thanks,

Thanks,
All I did was removed two idle pulleys (#4 and 7 in the picture) and used a shorter belt. With you having a SC'r, not sure what you could do.
