Deleting A/C 200 1989

I'm thinking about removing my A/C. I'm never going to get it converted. It doesn't work (my compressor switch wires were torn out by my steering shaft and ChazzyD helped me figure out how to wire them, but when it came down to it, I didn't want to risk there not being any oil in the compressor and having it lock and throw the steering belt or anything else for that matter...). In short, I have no idea what state its in, nor do I want to invest time and money into finding out. I would just like to be rid of it. Compressor, everything in front of and beside the radiator, hoses... everything around the engine that is just taking up space.

Would I have to fab a bracket for the transmission cooler, or will it fit to the radiator like it does to the condenser?

I understand that I will need to find a new belt for the power steering, has anybody done this before?
iPd sells a belt for this, but it's for older models...

Any advice on this?

Thanks,

Justin
