Default Underdrive pulleys+smog pump delete= ??

I just finished installing underdrive pulleys and deleting all the smog. I am trying to make a 90.5" belt work, but I am not sure its going to happen.

Has anyone done this with success? Do the Mustang smog pump eliminators fit? I know I can gut the OEM pump but I don't want that thing back on my truck.

I am going to figure this out, just wondering if anyone else has traveled this road. Truck info in signature.

I want to do the same thing. How about posting the belt part number.

Thanks,

I did buy a shorter belt. However the way the tensioner works it leaves no room for error. I had to stretch a 90.5" on. I do mean stretch!

ive also wondered what removing the smog stuff does to your fuel mileage? as far as not recirculating those gases?

I really don't care about fuel mileage, but I do know hot exhaust gasses are not good for an engine wanting cool/fresh air. My truck pulls really hard and drive ability has improved.

why not get a 91.5 or a 92.5 belt...?

stretching one on the hard way is only going to make other things wear faster...the belt done give as much and the water pump will prolly go shortly....

I put the A/C delete pulley on mine from Summit. The Smog pump is still on but not being used hose cut- off in the back. I also thought about the stang pulley delete?? Not sure if it is in the same location- never really looked. As far as the A/C delete pulley I bought - I had to make spacers & get longer bolts to mount to the new bracket to the existing A/C bracket and to fit the normal stock belt as mine would not get tight enough- you would have thought the delete pulley would be the same distance???. It really just starts cleaning the engine bay up.

Well for those who do care about gas mileage, does a smog pump delete really help at all?
